I feel incredibly blessed to have been married to my best friend, Jerry, for over 32 years. Someday, we will be reunited in Heaven. I am a mother to three amazing adult children, one son in-law, and one daughter in-love. I am also Mimi to five extraordinary grandchildren who can do no wrong. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

I have attended CommonGround Church for over 20 years, where I am privileged to be involved in various ministries. By God's grace, I obtained a bachelor's degree in Christian Leadership and was ordained by my beloved pastors.

My passion for God is unquenchable, and my greatest wish is to be more like Him, to always be about His work, and to never doubt His promises. As it says in Mark 9:23, "Everything is possible for one who believes."

I live to share the love of God with anyone and everyone I meet! I love being a godly wife to my husband, Tom, and homeschooling mom to three of our boys. We have five incredible sons, two of which are in college. The oldest is getting married in May of 2018, so we well be adding a lovely daughter to the mix!

My husband and I began in ministry over 25 years ago as youth pastors. In 2005, we answered God's call to start and pastor CommonGround Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma and have seen God use His church to reach and change many lives. Our purpose at CommonGround, and the purpose of my life is to bring people to know the Lord Jesus Christ and help them fulfill their purpose in Him.

I graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1990 with a bachelor's degree in music education. I enjoy all types of music, DIY projects, art, writing, and preaching and teaching God's work. Every person who doesn't know Jesus as their Lord is our mission field, and everyone who does, is a missionary.

My true passion is to inspire women to find their hope, joy, peace, and purpose in our Lord Jesus Christ, and to live intentionally for His glory. With a heart for ministry that began at age 16, I have been privileged to teach, work with children and youth, speak at women's events, write encouraging blogs, and equip women to delve deeply into God's Word.

The cornerstone of my life is and ministry is James 4:8: “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you”.  This verse continually fuels my desire to encourage others in their faith journey. 

My husband and I have been blessed with 29 years of marriage, one wonderful son, and the privilege of calling Tulsa, Oklahoma, our home. In addition to ministry, I have dedicated my professional career to early childhood education. As a business services manager, I support childcare providers in leadership and business development, merging my love for teaching with my passion for equipping others to thrive. 

I am a follower of Jesus and a truth-seeker by nature. My passion is studying God's Word and sharing His truth with others through writing, teaching, and discipleship. I enjoy helping others grow in their faith by encouraging them to dive deeper into Scripture and discover God's truth for themselves. I'm also the co-founder of the DEEP Bible Study Method, a system designed to equip others to study the Bible with purpose and depth.

I'm blessed to be Kerry's wife and the mother of Madison, Alyssa, and Matt. I also have a wonderful son-in-law, Austin, and a soon-to-be daughter in law, Summer. Our family is completed by two dogs, Maggie and Maverick, and our two grand-doods, Ace and Primrose.

I love being a wife, mother, and grandmother. I was blessed to have been born in a family where my dad was in the ministry.  My love, Wilson Mace, is my husband who I have been married to this September, for 39 years.  Melissa, Ryan, and LaVonne are three beautiful gifts from God.

To keep me young I have seven fun, loving grandchildren, four girls and two boys. I enjoy spending time with family every third Sunday of the month. My passion is to spend time with my husband talking, watching TV, riding the motorcycle, or just spending time together. 

I have been coming to Common Ground for three years. I love meeting and welcoming people into the church. My husband and I have two connection groups Leadership by Influence and Forever Young.

I am a child of the most-High God and wife to a godly husband, Dennis, for over 40 years, a mother of 3 grown children, and many, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. My greatest gift I have is to love people with the love of the Lord. I love to talk to the Lord and pray for others, and to see people become to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

My interests are walking, reading and spending time with family. My favorite scripture is 1 John 5:14-15 NKJV "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him."

My true passion is pleasing Jesus Christ and getting closer to him daily.   I try to start each day by reading his word spending time with Him. I feel you learn more and more about Him the more time you spend reading the Bible and praying. I also love to pray with people. I feel this is something God gifted me with and I love how I can help others through praying. 

I currently serve on the prayer team, and women's ministry at Common Ground. Outside of church I am currently a gymnastics coach for preschool children and homeschool my daughter. Before these, I worked in Banking for thirty-one years.  I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Management at University of Nevada Las Vegas, and my Masters Degree in Science in Leadership from Grand Canyon University. 

In my spare time I love to sew, travel, camp, and Mike and I love to shop for antiques. I am married to my wonderful husband, Michael.  We got married in 2012 and had our daughter Alyssa in 2013.  Mike and I went to high school together, but lost touch. We got back in touch with each other over Facebook while he was serving in Afghanistan.  After dating over the phone and internet for a year, as soon as he returned from Afghanistan we got married. 

I have a passion for women and to help them find a deep relationship with God. I am excited for the future and to walk out the plans God has for me. I graduated from Xplore Nations Bible School and the University of Tulsa.

I am a worshipper of our Lord. There is nothing that brings me more joy! “How blessed are the people who worship you, Oh LORD, they experience your favor.” Psalms 89:15. 

I am a follower of Jesus and love to worship our Father. I try to start my mornings out in the Word and growing my relationship with God. My husband, Mike, and I have been married for almost 24 years. We have five amazing sons, one adventurous daughter-in-law, and four energetic grandchildren. I graduated from Xplore Nations Bible School.

We try to plan family outings and spend time outdoors when the weather permits. We like to go to the lake, camp, swim, hike, and grow our own vegetables. There is just something so rewarding to working with your hands to plant seeds, hard work watering and tending to your garden, then excitement when harvest time comes. I often think that God must feel the same way about us, not that we are vegetables rather we are the harvest of his seeds and his handiwork.

I have always been that person that people will talk to me about anything that’s on their minds. I enjoy helping and encouraging people, especially women. What I love about Beautiful You is witnessing other women encouraging and praying for each other. My family and I started attending Common Ground again in 2023. I just love our church!
