Salvation and Call to Ministry
I was raised in a Christian home and was in church regularly. I made my public profession of faith when I was twelve years old, but as the teenage years approached I became rebellious and strayed away from the Lord. The whole time I was in rebellion against God, I knew what I needed to do and knew that only Christ could give the real joy that I was looking for and would not find it in any of the things I was doing. This waywardness lasted until I was 23 years old when I met Sherry. For the most part she was in the same condition as me, but she was still going to church. She invited me to go with her to church. The first time I attended, I heard the preaching of the Word. I knew God was ringing my bell and I needed to respond. For months I was under conviction to repent of my sin, but after witnessing an accident on the job, God showed me that I had two choices. One was to deny myself and follow him and the other was to live a miserable life in rebellion against Him. At that moment I fully turned my life over to Him. I was 24 years old at that time. He began to show me that He came so that I may have life and have it more. Four years later, He began to call me into a life of vocational ministry and gave me the gift to be a pastor/teacher.

Ministry Focus
My focus at Cropwell is to assist the Senior Pastor in ministry. This involves teaching and preaching when needed; leading in visitation and outreach for the sick, for membership, and for bringing people to Christ; and keeping my hand on the pulse of the Sunday school to help it grow.
