Family Life -
I married  Russ, also known as Pastor Gumm, in 1982 .  We have two children.  Zack is in the second grade at NCS and Julianne is 3 years old. 

Fun Fact -
Over the years I have been involved in many aspects of children's ministry. One Sunday night several years ago I led a Sunday evening program for children.  After our lesson, I took the children outside to play until the adult service concluded.  The children wanted to play football, so I joined in, wearing a dress.  As I was running, my feet got tangled in my dress and I landed on the ground.  I hurt many parts of my body - but nothing was hurt quite as much as my pride. The teenage helpers were quite concerned about my injuries since there was so much grass stain on my dress.  All in all I faired pretty well.  The dress on the other hand didn't survive.  I no longer play football!

Hobbies -
I enjoy filling my time by playing with our children, playing the piano, and shopping.

Faith Testimony -
I grew up in a Christian home and was saved at an early age.  Over the years I have tried to seek God's perfect will for my life. God has been so faithful to reveal Himself and His plans to me as I seek Him.
