Sandra Skinner has learned many important things in almost five years of working in ministry. "There’s a lot of hurting people and a lot of people in need," Skinner said, "but no matter what the circumstances are, if they know God is bigger than circumstance, if they feel his love and feel valued throughout, I believe that’s the message they need to hear." Skinner brings that knowledge and more to her new appointment as the Rev. of Oakwood First United Methodist Church.
