Salvation Testimony

I was raised by Godly parents who made going to church a priority. At age 7, I walked the aisle of Forest Baptist Church and was baptized. While attending Centrifuge at Ridgecrest Baptist Assembly with my youth group, I realized I did not know the Lord as my Savior. I came to understand that all I had done was go through water that had no power to save me. At age 13, I felt the tug of the Holy Spirit on my life and prayed the sinner's prayer asking Jesus to forgive me and to come into my heart and be the Lord and Savior of my life. Throughout my life, I've failed God many times. But thanks to Him, I am forgiven.

Romans 10:13
"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (NIV)

Call to the Ministry

Taught school as a band director for several years before surrendering to full-time ministry in March of 1998.

Passion in Ministry

My passion in ministry is to see God's people totally engulfed in worship. So many times, week after week, we join together and go through the motions of worship and then go away no different than when we first came. My desire is for the church to truly meet Jesus every time we join together in corporate worship, and to experience the ONE who is worthy of all of our worship and praise.

Favorite Verse

Psalm 100
ei>Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. (NIV)
