Ministry Philosophy
I believe that all functions of the church should exist to
bring glory to God. Therefore, all activities should have
a strategic focus that centers on this goal. The Pastoral
Staff should partner together to lead, teach, and equip
the body of Christ to live a life dedicated to growing in
Christ and advancing His message for the glory of God. I
also believe that ministry should meet culture where it
is by adapting practices and style, but upholding
Biblical doctrine and theology. As a Worship leader, it is
my goal to teach people that in order to worship God
with song on Sunday, it is important for us to worship
God with lives and actions during the rest of the week.
Testimony
I have been in church since I was a child and have been
taught right from wrong. I learned I was a lost sinner in
need of Jesus Christ. I struggled with giving my life to
Christ because I made salvation complicated. I always
sought to know for myself I had done the right things to be saved. It was not until I went to a Beach Retreat with my
church that I realized it was not about what I did, but what Jesus did for me on the cross at Calvary. On June 10, 2002, I
surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ. I asked Him to forgive me of my sin and come into my life. Christ has
developed in my life a desire to serve Him and others for life. It was in the summer of 2009 just before attending school
at Liberty University that God called me to full-time vocational ministry. Since attending Liberty, God has molded my
heart to more of what He desires for ministry.
