Shelby Pervorse

I am a Director by passion, a Worshipper by grace, and a Searching Soul by necessity.

I am the Production Director for a growing church...in a bar. No, you did not read that wrong, we meet in a bar/nightclub, which is not something typical of our area. I am so lucky to have the privilige to craft and create services to reach people who do not feel comfortable in a traditional church environment.

Sadly, my passion does not pay the bills so I have to find a paying gig for the day to day. Up until recently I was an English teacher, but due to some recent unforseen events, I find myself on a new path, seeking out a new adventure. I don't really know what that adventure is yet or where this path may take me, but the job hunt is sure proving interesting. I have never been asked so many times in my life, "What have you always wanted to do?" or "What is your dream job?" Frankly, I have no idea what I want to do and I have never had a dream job, there are just too many amazing things to do and experience.

Sometimes though, I have to remember to put my jobs aside and worship the one who made it all possible and saved me by grace. I would be nothing without God, and though it can be hard to see through the muck and the mire, I will always look to Him for encouragement and love.

Now for a bit of silliness...I love creating meals for my friends; rubber ducks; the nerdy three: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Doctor Who; good craft beers; reading a good book with a hot cup of tea; board games; spending quality time with people I care about; and so many more things I cannot even begin to list them here...
