Cecelia gave her life to Christ at a young age in her grandfather's church. And, she considers herself fortunate to have grown up in a family committed to training youth by teaching them about God and His word and giving them an appreciation for music of all types, especially traditional hymns, anthems and gospel music.
Cecelia completed her bachelors at the University of Illinois in Urbana in sociology and her masters at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in public health. During her university years she was actively involved in campus ministry with The Navigators, an organization focused on helping college students to 'know Christ and make Him known,' She participated in several summer ministry training programs for urban ministry in
Minneapolis, MN and Chicago, IL. She was also very active in her local campus church supporting Christian camping for youth and youth outreach ministries. It was during these times she developed a heart for ministering to women of all ages through small group bible studies and one on one discipleship. Over 25 years or more Cecelia has continued to grow and serve in a number of ministry areas including worship ministry, youth ministry and women's ministry. Her recent attendance to the True Woman Conference '10 re-ignited in her a passion to glorify God by ministering to women about His design for biblical womanhood. Her desire is that women from all walks of life and life circumstances would know personally that there is 'hope in God - Romans 5:5,' as we follow His design and purpose for our lives.
Cecelia is one of the under-shepherds for the Transformed Women's Ministry at NLCC. And, one of her life verses is Psalm 27:13-14 I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living! Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
