NATE DOOLEY
lead pastor
Shannon serves as the Worship Coordinator at Liberty Church. She’s been involved in full time ministry for about 8 years but has served on worship teams since high school. She loves helping people experience the heart of Jesus through worship and to encourage others to step into all God has called them to. Family time with her husband and two girls is something she truly enjoys and is very important to her.
Aside from that she loves coffee, all things art, baking, new experiences and time with her closest friends. If there was only one thing she could ever share with others it would be to stand on God’s word because her favorite verse Luke 1:37 says “For no word from God will ever fail.”
