MINISTRY
SERVING AS: Youth Pastor
DUTIES: HangTime (middle school students) and CrossTraining (High School students) youth ministries
PASSIONS: Obviously, I enjoy working with both middle school and high school students, but my real passion lies in discipling young men and pointing them to Jesus. I also enjoy seeing people use the gifts that they have been blessed with to serve the local church. Very few things are as exciting as seeing the local church working together to make a difference in the community and the world.
PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY & LIFE: In December of 1995 my life was drastically changed. I discovered that what God desired from me was a personal and ongoing relationship with Him through His son, Jesus Christ. Since that journey has begun, God has directed me in ways that I could never have envisioned or imagined, and has revealed His unique purpose for me. God has placed in me a desire and a hunger to "make a difference" in the lives of the people I come in contact with on a daily basis. I am humbled by this privilege and my passion is for others to discover the unconditional love of God and His plan and purpose for their lives. So simply put, I hope that, with God's help, my life would honor God and people would know what Jesus is like because they've met me.
