Ministry Experience:
Youth pastor and have been serving as the senior pastor at Faith Community Church since 2000.

Hobbies: Enjoy many hobbies to include:

• Fishing/angling

• Knife making
• Repaired and set up a 40 gallon fish aquarium for my son's turtle along with a custom filtration system
• Automotive Repair - My latest project was to install a power head on my 70 hp Evinrude boat motor.
• Weld & fabricate steel and aluminum.

Style of preaching:
Expository and Topical with a simple emphasis on doing my best to reveal the truth of Gospel with an enthusiastic approach along with a simple outline, accompanied by simple illustrations and stories relevant to the life we live and the world we are in.

Religious views:
There are many things I believe all according to the Scriptures as found in the Bible.

• I believe that unless a man is born again he cannot enter heaven at death.
• I believe that Jesus was and is the One He claimed to be which was and is none other than the Son of God. His time here on earth was spent as the incarnate Son of God who was and is coequal and coeternal with God the Father.
• At His ascension He sent His very presence the Holy Spirit to be our guide and comforter as found in Acts chapter 2. The church is His bride and at His return both will be united forevermore.
• The church's mission, in this present world, is to evangelize those who are without the Savior. Lastly, I believe Jesus' words from John 14:6, I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes unto the Father except through Me. Jesus is not one of many ways or one probable way, He is the only way a human soul can live eternally by believing in His life, death, burial and resurrection.

Goals for the church:
To most of all be a healthy congregation of believers who are daily becoming disciples of the Lord Jesus. My wish is that every member will discover and explore their God given gifts and talents for ministry in the church that we might be salt and light in our community, county, state, country and beyond.
