My resume will show you the variety and extent of my experiences. In having directed, trained, taught, preached, spoken to large gathering and small groups, counseled, created and implemented ideas and programs and worked with youth of all ages I have learned as much as I have taught. I have experienced and learned the value of both ministering as part of team as well as initiating programs on my own. I have listened and learned the heartaches and difficulties facing families as I worked with parents to strengthen the family unit and young people to improve their relationship with parents and siblings. I have occupied the pulpit for Sunday services, performed weddings and officiated at funerals seeing both the good and hard side of ministry. I have learned the importance of agreement in vision and submission to authority in ministry as well as the heavy responsibilities and accountability that accompany the office of pastor and teacher. Believing, salvation is available to all who receive the teaching of forgiveness through the shed blood of Jesus Christ with a willingness to apply this in a personal way while seeking God’s forgiveness for sin, restores fellowship with God, and has allowed me to participate in ministry across like-minded denominations in many meaningful ways over the years.
