Kayla and I were in seminary together and worked together following graduation. She was dedicated in both places. Kayla is an effective preacher. I have kept one of her sermons that she gave to a congregation because it spoke to me - it has been a resource of comfort and a catalyst of introspection. We have served together as chaplains and worship leaders, where she has ministered to those who needed a knowledgeable and trustworthy listener. She has the ability to connect quickly with families whether in joy or sorrow.

Kayla has conducted several funeral and memorial services for families served by our three-location funeral home. She has consistently performed so wonderfully that she is the only clergy we use when a family asks us to find Protestant clergy for them. Reviews from our professional staff and from families have been excellent, without exception or deviation. She conducts in-depth consultations with family about their loved one and provides a service so personal that those attending think she has known the person for years prior to death.

Kayla was the icing on the cake at our wedding! She took time to get to know our story, gathered our input, and added personal touches to make the vows more meaningful. We loved her delivery of the vows - calm, caring, reassuring - in that slight NC accent! She was prepared, flawless, and everyone came up to us after asking where we found her. She truly made our night special, and we couldn't recommend her enough!
