Angie is a devoted pastor’s wife, mother, and grandmother with a lifelong passion for ministry, creativity, and encouraging others to grow in Christ.

About Angie
Angie is a writer, creative, and ministry leader with a heart for encouraging Christian women. When she’s not working as an administrative assistant or serving at church, she enjoys songwriting, creating art, writing faith-based blog posts, reading, watching Masterpiece Theater, and taking long walks. She also loves finding hidden treasures at garage sales and thrift stores and reselling them online.
​
Originally from St. Clair County, Michigan, Angie and her husband Aaron now live in Western New York with their dachshund, Brody. Their family answered God’s call to pastoral ministry, leaving behind careers and opportunities to follow His leading.
​
In 2019, Angie launched the READ–PRAY–SING Blog to inspire Christian women through faith-filled encouragement, prayer, and personal testimony. Today, her ministry offers devotional blog posts, anointed prayers, and resources designed to strengthen faith and uplift the heart.
​
Angie is also the author of Sunshine in My Heart and is excited to share the book with her subscribers. Follow her Amazon Author Page for new releases.
