I am passionate about communicating the word of God and helping people know God and His mission for the redemption of mankind. I believe that His mission (Missio Dei) is inseparable from the local church and that each follower of Christ is divinely designed for a place in the story of redemption!
I joined the Calvary Church family in January of 2020, and together we are creating an earthly picture of heaven. Everything we do is driven by the Word of God to love people and to invite them into authentic community with God and others. We believe that life and ethnicity are divine and that the power of loving people can make an eternal impact.
I have a Doctorate of Ministry in Missiology from Southeastern University and have been an ordained minister since 2000. I've served in ministry for over 25 years, including various staff roles, and as lead pastor since 2009. I love reading, weightlifting, traveling, hunting and football.
My wife, Becky, is a family nurse practitioner with over 30 years in the medical profession. She loves spending time with family, traveling the world and of course spoiling her dogs. Becky and I have been married since 1994 and have two sons: Chandler and Landon.
