Tori grew up knowing the unconditional love of the Father and experiencing the rest found in the shadow of His wings. Her first prayer language with the Lord was movement! Her years in dance training taught her a lot about living a lifestyle of worship and what it means to be co-creators with God. Tori has been married to her husband, Berrell, for just over a year. She considers it an honor to serve and worship the Lord alongside him. 

The Lord pursued Berrell at a young age by giving him a desire to read His Word. As the Lord surrounded him with friends who loved Him and leaders in the church who recognized and poured into his gift as a leader, Berrell began to recognize the call from the Lord to lead others to meet with and minister to God through worship.
