Thank You’s, Part 1
I have some AWESOME leaders and volunteers serving with me at Fellowship Church! I want to spend this week pointing out some people that I’m thankful for, certain individuals that if I had an entire church full of, the entire city would be reached with the Gospel. Now inevitably I will forget all sorts of great people who it is an honor to serve with, but I just wanted to take some time to honor some... read more

Something For You?!
Several years ago an amazing church was planted in my city. The founding pastors were passionate about seeing God’s Kingdom advanced. The location of the new church plant was prime. The music was hands-down the BEST in town. The messages were solid and Biblically content-driven. And the turnout to their services, for this area, was nothing short of amazing. The crowd they were drawing was young.... read more

It was torture, it was invigorating, it was worship. As I began to think of the New Year, thoughts began to flood my inner ears- that’s that whose possesion I do not know.

What Would Happen?
What would happen if our eyes were opened to the world all around? What if , like Balaam or like the command of Elisha, we could see God’s heavenly hosts battling all around us?

In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
