Dennis was born and raised in South Carolina, growing up in a rural area of the upstate.  Dennis grew up attending the local United Methodist Church near his family home and has played a part in about every area of ministry the church offered.  Dennis has been in youth ministry, in the choir, as well as being certified as a lay speaker for the UMC.  Upon moving to Pennsylvania the first time, Dennis started on the road of answering the call to ministry, but his family was relocated to SC with work, where he started the ministry process again.  After a year, His family was moved back to the Pittsburgh area and during this period he became a Licensed Local Pastor with the UMC, serving as Associate Pastor of Garden City UMC in Monroeville.  Dennis served in that capacity until his family was relocated to Land O Lakes, Florida, where he became leader of the Praise Team and served as a lay speaker in the church.  After a stay in Batesville, Indiana for 3 years, the family settled back into the East Pittsburgh area in Murrysville in 2020.

She has wound her way through the local church in various ways for the past 10 years of professional ministry and graduated with a Master of Divinity from Wesley Seminary.

You can join her in that journey by checking out her book, Everyday Epiphany: Discovering God in Every Moment. Emily loves to help others see His love, grace, and promises more clearly in their own lives through writing and worship. Her hobbies include whatever her two little girls like to do, drinking too much coffee, dabbling in the guitar and piano, singing loud, laughing louder, writing, talking, and watching reality tv.
