our staff

Favorite Food: I like to eat around food. I can find something to eat in any food category, but I could eat Mexican every day.

Favorite Music: I am a Beatles nut!

Favorite TV Show or Movie: I like comedies (usually 'so stupid it's funny'). I loved the Naked Gun movie series and Monty Python.

Favorite Quotes: "We don't have souls. We are souls. We have bodies." (C. S. Lewis)

Favorite Scripture: Psalm 139 is my favorite psalm (lays out God's credibility and expresses every person's value), but my favorite single passage is Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”

I was raised in a Catholic family. As I got older, I asked a lot of questions, and eventually walked away when my questions were ignored. In college (Louisville - Go Cards!), I was taught about a relationship with Jesus by a Methodist Campus Minister. I accepted Christ at age 19, and almost immediately started wrestling with a call to ministry. After a bit of a delay, I finished my undergrad and worked my way through Asbury Seminary.

I want you (and everyone else) to know that the almighty God of the Universe loves you with an infinite love, and He wants you to be a part of his eternal family! You have value to Him, so it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says about you - You matter! If you stop reading at this point, I'd be fine with that.

Annette and I married in 1992. Hannah came along in 1995. She has a genetic disorder (Williams Syndrome - be glad to tell you more in person if you're curious). She lives about an hour away from Avon. Isaiah was born in 2004. He is looking for trade work in Avon.

We are a musical family. I play guitar, and we all sing. Isaiah has written, produced, and released music as an indie artist. His artist name is Fresh McSizzle (don't ask).
