Izzy Gutierrez
Director of Family Ministries
Izzy@ActonMethodist.com
Hello, my name is Izzy. I’m 36 years old and I grew up in the church. Like most young people, I didn’t understand who God really was until I found myself at 19 years old alone and pregnant. It was then that I saw God’s mercy and love through the kind people in my church.
Through the years I have found so much joy and fulfillment in serving God’s people. It helps me remember I am not a victim but a victor and overcomer in our Lord, Jesus Christ. I’m always humbled by any opportunity to serve. I’m amazed that the Lord would look upon me with love and is still able to use someone like me for His kingdom. So, as I long as I have strong hands and feet; I serve the Lord.
