Co-leadership of the PHUMC Church Basketball League with Minister to Youth and Families:
Pulaski Heights Youth Ministry has provided a church league basketball program for almost 50 years! This beloved ministry has made a roaring comeback after pandemic lockdown. The contemporary youth ministry team works together to both carry on the tradition and breathe new life into this fun and exciting ministry opportunity.

We are waving “goodbye” the days of siloed ministry—to be Associate of Youth Ministries at Pulaski Heights is to be on a larger team of 8-12 staff members with what we call “Lifespan” ministries. We work collaboratively on “all church” (cradle to grave!) events. We believe deeply in intergenerational relationships as one of our primary purposes in ministry. Being a part of this work is Holy and necessary to serve at Pulaski Heights.
