About  Tj George

TJ's job and delight is to get you connected to a place of volunteer service both in the church and out in the community (she describes this as something that can "make your heart sing"). As the Lambs Gap campus pastor, she understands how hard it can be to find your way around a big church and wants to do whatever she can to help you get to your desired destination. If you ever need to find her office - just keep walking through the building until you find the amazingly awesomely blingy purple one – that would be it!
