You can most often find me with a cup of coffee in hand- hot in the morning hours and iced in the afternoon. Much of my day is filled with my four greatest blessings- Alaira, Audra, Amos and Acelynn. They are my pride and joy and my first calling in life. Our house is usually busting out in laughter as my husband of 17 years tells another funny joke or pulls a quick one on the kids. It’s a busy environment. Fun. Chaotic at times. Loud.

Always exciting.

The Lord fulfilled my deepest desires in life when he made me a wife to Zac and a mom to our kiddos. My second calling came when I was in 7th grade. I knew without a doubt that God had asked me to devote my life to him in full-time ministry. I also knew that the initial years would look like me being my husband’s number one support. As the kids have grown, I have felt the pull, nudge and tug to step into

a new dimension of ministry

for myself. Through prayer and words of confirmation, Empow(her) Ministries was launched in 2019, and the Lord has opened many doors through this ministry. What a gift! My husband pastors Access Church, and I have the privilege of directing and leading the women’s ministry- Empow(her) Ministries and also Access Worship Team.

I am often mistaken as an extrovert. I absolutely love being with people- relationships are a gift from God. But I recharge and refuel in my quiet, alone time. But you will always find my teddy bear of a pup, Dunkin (the cutest cockapoo you ever will meet) right by my side no matter what.

A few of my favorite things include spending Friday night’s on a date with my hubby, family dinners, hiking with Dunkin’, reading, studying the Word, connecting with ladies over a cup of Rothrock coffee, singing with the worship team and just living life to the fullest!

So excited to have you here to share in life’s moments with me.

Hugs,

Ashley
