Objective

Reaching the un-churched and developing life-long followers of Jesus Christ.  My purpose is to disciple people from all walks of life to be fully devoted followers of Christ, to help them develop thriving relationships with one another and to show them the importance of evangelizing their community.  Also to teach them to be leaders in their community, in their relationships and attitude that represents who God really is.  As they grow in their relationship with God, they will know that we serve a loving and forgiving God and have the nerve and attitude to share that with their world.

Personal Statement

My wife Angie and I believe that our relationship with God is number one.  After that is our relationship with each other, then our kids and then our church/ministry.  This is how we live our life and we believe that keeping God number one allows all the other stuff to work out the way it should.

 

Some of my personal interests are family, dating my wife, music, softball, golf, travel, reading, writing and enjoying life with friends.
