									Cathy and I met each other while ministering 
							among developmentally-disabled adults in Kalamazoo, 
							Michigan. We were married eight months later 
							and have served in public ministry together ever 
							since. Starting as volunteer workers in Youth 
							Ministry and Sunday School, God rewarded our 
							faithfulness by opening a new door to serve in an 
							inner-city ministry called Praise Baptist Church. We 
							lived at the church's Outreach site called Alpha and 
							Omega Ministries. We invested 4.5 years of our lives among 
							hundreds of individuals there. 
							 
							We moved from Michigan to California with our four 
							children in 1993. I attended Golden Gate Baptist 
							Theological Seminary from 93-96 and earned a Masters 
							of Divinity Degree (while serving as pastor of 
							Snyder Lane Baptist Church in Rohnert Park, 
							California).
							 
							 From 1996-2006, I was the pastor of First Baptist 
							Church of Galt, California. We enjoyed significant 
							fruit of long-term ministry during our ten years of 
							service. Prompted and moved by the Spirit of the 
							Lord, we began our ministry at Bell Road Baptist 
							Church in January, 2007. We continue to look forward 
							to a vibrant ministry as we proceed in our third 
							year of service from Auburn to the ends of the 
							earth.
							 
							Cathy and I are both musicians, support creativity 
							of all sorts, and really enjoy a good laugh. Both of 
							us were once kids, so we have a strong belief that 
							church should be a fun place for children of all 
							ages. 
									
									As I write and publish, I openly share our lives and our vision in 
									my daily journal. I hope you'll take some 
									time to get to know us through it.

									Add this link as a favorite 
									and stop by everyday! My undergraduate 
									degree (earned before my conversion) was in 
									Audio-Visual production. Therefore, I have a 
									strong desire to build a Creative Arts Team 
									who will be able to produce high-quality, 
									creative teachings through song, slideshow, 
									video, sermon in the context of local ministry at
									Bell Road Baptist Church.
