Our Story

How It Began


God had a dream. God invited me into this dream. Together we built what we call The Ravens Collective. It all began with me asking the question, “What breaks my heart?” Along the way, I learned that my heart breaks for the outcast, the broken, the rejected, and the marginalized. He was sending me to be a minister of reconciliation. He was sending me to be His hands and feet. He was sending an ambassador, a minister, a shepherd, someone who would stand in the middle. This is a ministry for all of us not just me. We are all ambassadors. We are all advocates of the broken.

God has put me on the earth to be a welcoming space for the Ravens of the world, so that they can find restorative healing and be fully known. I have always had this heart to be a welcoming space to others. To make all people feel safe, included, and loved. I have felt this as a resident assistant, a friend, and a pastor.

The Ravens Collective is this and so much more. It is a healing and equipping ministry.
