Philosophy of Ministry
My philosophy of ministry is based upon the teaching and example of Jesus Christ who is the Shepherd of the Church, and who has called me to be an undershepherd. The central focus of my ministry is based on Ephesians 4:12, where the Apostle Paul exhorts pastors “to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” As an undershepherd, I am to preach, teach, and communicate God’s word, provide spiritual leadership, equip God’s people for service, and reach out to the lost and hurting people of this world. This ministry will be accomplished as the church unites to use every means available to carry out the Great Commission which Christ has charged the Church to fulfill.

Doctrinal Statement
My faith, personal life, and ministry are founded on the belief that the Bible is the inspired word of God. Since the Bible contains no errors, it is my sole source for truth. It is my source of authority for guidance and direction in both my life and ministry. I am committed to the study of Scripture and to God’s call for obedience to His Word and His teachings.

Personal Statement
When I was seventeen years old, I gave my life to the Lord. Two years later I accepted His call into full time ministry. As I have responded to this call, God has placed in my heart a desire to encourage, disciple, equip, and evangelize individuals as well as families. God has given me many opportunities to serve Him in this capacity, and in so doing I have learned a great deal about the ministries, functions, and concerns of the local church. God has given me a great love for others. As a result, I deeply desire to be involved in the lives of believers and non-believers in a way that will lead them to encounter Christ and to develop a growing relationship with Him that will sustain them throughout their lives so that they too, will become faithful servants to the Savior.
