I have always known that God wanted me to be a pastor of a church. It all started when I was 5 years old and I began reading the Bible on a regular basis. My parents told me that I was always trying to preach to people and when I was 10 I began leading my older family members to Christ. By the time I was 11, I was holding crusades all over the state of Oklahoma and thousands were showing up......Just kidding !!

In reality, I am just a regular guy who doesn't understand why God called him to the ministry. I accepted Christ at 19 while I was in school at Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College. I later graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Pastoral Ministry. I then married my wife, who I met at Hillsdale, and have been married to her since 2001.

After graduation I youth pastored for two years in Mustang, Oklahoma. I then went back to Hillsdale and received my Master's Degree in Ministry.

My wife and I later felt God wanted us to do foreign missions. We were led to serve for nine months in Uruguay, South America. We returned to the United States in 2006, my wife gave birth to our first baby, a little girl. We then came to United Church and have been here ever since.

God's taking us along for an amazing journey. I hope you will come along for the ride!
