Rachel has been a life-long United Methodist. She was baptized at Klein UMC in Spring, Texas, and was confirmed at FUMC Edna. She joined the praise band when she was 14 years old and developed her passion for worship while learning to sing, play guitar, bass guitar, and even drums! While music and worship have always been a great passion for Rachel, she also has a passion for justice and missions, and the goal of her ministry is to be a bridge between a hurting world and a healing church.
 
Rachel attended Texas Lutheran University, earning a BS in Kinesiology and a minor in Theology. She knew that she would always be an active member of the UMC but did not discern her call to ministry until March of 2016 during a church-planting conference. That day, she withdrew herself from her graduate program and began the ordination process. She received her Master of Divinity from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio, in 2021.
 
Rachel and her husband, Jacob, were “youth group sweethearts”. They met at FUMC Edna and were married there in 2013. Jacob is a Fiber Technician for Bandera Electric Cooperative and serves on the AV team as well as the praise team. Rachel and Jacob have four children: the twins- Jackson and Isaiah, Jacob, and Olivia Grace.
