Pauline and I know the mercy and forgiveness of Jesus intimately and have experienced restoration and the “buying back the years the locusts have eaten” (Joel 2:25).  As I approached my 50^th birthday, the Lord called me to pastoral ministry, and confirmed this through Pauline.   We are bi-vocational, and the Lord has provided for us through our own “tent-making” business that gives us time and provision to serve the Lord in prayer and the ministry of the Word.  I deeply want others to know the peace, love, and forgiveness that Jesus has given to me, so I try to bring His Word to life through preaching, teaching, and encouraging others to grow personally.  We would love for you to come join our family here at SCF!

Together, we share five grown children:  Cody and wife Leah, Melody, Charly, Lyric, and Taylor, and enjoy being Pops and Nonnie to Truett, Selah, Theo, Thad, Jay and Noa. We live just north of Springtown near Keeter, where we have built our own home on our ever-growing farm.
