PASSION
My passion is to lead, teach, and urge the men and women of the church to engage their local
context with the gospel. I am passionate about men leading their families to be missionaries to the
local elementary schools, high schools, and places of work.

I reject the mentality of isolationism. I believe that the local church is commissioned to and should
be prepared to not merely engage the culture, but to have an impact and a place in what is thought,
taught and valued in a community. I believe that the dilution of doctrines of repentance, sin and fall
of mankind have only created a lack of respect for Christianity among the people we hope to teach
the gospel.
