I believe my education has created a compassionate and caring Pastor/Chaplain, one who can function very well with the chaos and stresses of the ministry. I believe that the ministry to the Deaf and Disabled has taught me great grace and patience as my time with the children and the youth has taught to have fun and to believe! My time as a Police Chaplain has shown me the depths of man’s condition and the vital importance of the church. My time serving the community has taught me that the Church has a place in the community, that Christ can be seen in our lives. I believe that I am in the greatest time of ministry, with all that I have learned, experience, and been taught. I am excited about what I believe the Lord is going to work through my life! All of these different and unique events and chapters of my life has prepared me to be a multi-faceted individual who is capable of serving the Lord in a myriad of different expressions.
