Sharon joined Terrace United Methodist Church in 1987. At the time she was attending the University of Houston Downtown full time and was quickly recruited by Terrace Weekday Programs (Big Little School) to work as a teacher in the summer program and during the school year she was a teacher assistant 3 days a week and the lead teacher 2 days a week. Her role with the school expanded quickly as the Administrator, Lynn Kubik asked her if she would work hand in hand with her to expand the school and become a 5 day a week fulltime preschool. They added the first 2 modular buildings and after a couple of years purchased a van to start the after school program. Her daily duties during the expansion were to close the school, write the curriculum for the afternoon program as well as oversee the teaching staff and communicate with the parents. After she obtained her degree in business she was promoted to financial director. Her duties included but were not limited to, tours of the facility, receivables, payables, Quickbooks, deposits, quarterly tax reports and human resource duties. After 9 years at BLS and the expansion complete Sharon felt called to a different mission. She was approached by a consultant to go work for Woodlake Square Children’s Center. An individually owned for profit center that was in deep financial trouble to work with another director to help get it back on its feet. Her duties were networking with parents, doing tours of the facility and taking care of payables, receivables, payroll and budgets. Within 2 years Sharon and the other hired director had the center up and turning a profit. After 10 years at the for profit center she was approached by another nonprofit, The Parish School. They asked her to work in the business office as they transitioned to their new, 10 million facility. She worked with several consultants to help restructure and implement a budget that went from 2 million dollars to 3 million dollars in 1 year. After this task was complete Sharon decided to take a leave of absence from the working world to be a stay at home mom for a while. After 2 years of leave, she was offered a part time position with a small pest control company doing basic accounting as well as payables, receivables, sales tax and payroll taxes. This position allowed her to continue to volunteer at her children’s schools and be present at all of their events. In 2014 she decided to start her own company with a business partner, which is still functioning today. Sharon has been married to her husband, Kevin for 29 years and has a son Korey who will graduate from Texas A&M August 10 then begin his fulltime position with the A&M football team August 11. Her daughter, Kassie is in her second year at Blinn and will transfer to A&M in the fall of 2019.

EASY AS 1, 2, 3
Here are a few simple ways to describe how we United Methodists live our Christian faith:

We have ONE mission statement: “To make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.” It’s biblical.
We believe in TWO forms of holiness: personal holiness and social holiness. That is why we United Methodists work to bring individuals to a Christian way of life, but we also work to change our society.
We try to live by THREE simple rules: do no harm, do good, stay in love with God. It’s biblical…John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, searched the scripture and formed a concise way of describing our calling as Christians.
We believe truth is found by the FOUR sides of the Wesleyan Quadrilateral: Scripture is primary and it is interpreted by Tradition (what the church has taught), Reason, and Experience. We are a Biblical people, and we also see the importance of learning from the Christian teachings of the past, using our minds to think through our faith, and bringing our own experience of God into our understanding.
We know our congregations flourish when we engage in the FIVE practices of:
- Radical Hospitality
- Passionate Worship
- Intentional Faith Development
- Risk-Taking Mission and Service
- Extravagant Generosity

There it is…five steps of being faithful United Methodist followers of Jesus Christ. They describe what is unique about being followers of Jesus in the Wesleyan tradition and they are hallmarks of The United Methodist Church.

UNITED METHODISTS BELIEVE:

that God is understood in three distinct forms. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are commonly used to refer to the threefold nature of God. Sometimes we use other terms such as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer;
in one God, who created the world and all that is in it. We believe God is sovereign; that is, God is the ruler of the universe. We believe God is loving. We can experience God’s love and grace;
Jesus was human. He lived as a man and died when he was crucified. We believe Jesus is divine. He is the Son of God. We believe God raised Jesus from the dead and the risen Christ lives today. We believe Jesus is our Savior. In Christ we receive abundant life and forgiveness of sins. We believe Jesus is our Lord and we are called to pattern our lives after his;
the Holy Spirit is God with us. We believe the Holy Spirit comforts us when we are in need and convicts us when we stray from God. We believe the Holy Spirit awakens us to God’s will and empowers us to live obediently;
God created human beings in God’s image. We believe humans can choose to accept or reject a relationship with god. We believe all humans need to be in relationship with God in order to be fully human;
the church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today. We believe the mission of the church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe the church is “the communion of saints,”—a community made up of all past, present and future disciples of Christ. We believe the church is called to worship God and to support those who participate in its life as they grow in faith;
the Bible is God’s Word. We believe the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice. We believe Christians need to know and study the Old Testament and the New Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Scriptures).
