Mililani Town, Hawaii, United States

I love the people of this wonderful neighborhood church. It was exciting to rise to the challenge leading MPC through pandemic challenges as together we discovered creative new directions and approaches to community ministry. We have emerged from the pandemic stronger and healthier, with confidence in God to guide us and with a vision for all that life can be for everyone in the community of Mililani and all across O'ahu.

Othello, Washington, United States

This was such a fun church to serve as Pastor. During the ten years I spent there, this congregation in Central Washington demonstrated amazing grace by recognizing its needed to adapt and grow in order to respond to the changing world around it in many ways: first and foremost, by seeking God’s vision for their ministry and by working together to implement it; as well as by making their worship services more dynamic and inviting; by upgrading their facilities and technology; by starting new… Show more This was such a fun church to serve as Pastor.

It was a joy to be their Pastor. Show less

Palestine, Illinois, United States

Since I believe all Christians are ministers, I prefer to speak, not of what I did at these churches, but of what we did together. During the eight years I was called to work with the people of these two yoked churches in rural Illinois, we all learned to laugh and cry together, and to love one another deeply. We reached out to our community through a variety of children's, youth, and family programs. We enhanced our spiritual life together though Bible studies, discussion groups, retreats,… Show more Since I believe all Christians are ministers, I prefer to speak, not of what I did at these churches, but of what we did together.

We reached out to our community through a variety of children's, youth, and family programs. We enhanced our spiritual life together though Bible studies, discussion groups, retreats, and mission projects. We made our churches more accessible to a wide rage of persons. We worked in partnership with other local churches on Bible schools, ecumenical worship services, and community service projects. And we were blessed to welcome many new members and friends into our two churches while baptizing both children and adults into the Christian faith. Show less
