Sherry and I were married August 9th 1986. Sherry is a mom and the librarian & media specialist for Parker high school. We have three Children - Liz who is working on her Master degree at Evangel University, Kate who is married to Michael Bellamy and has three children Daisey, Luke and Alice; Daniel who works and lives in Parker. I was licensed in 1990 and ordained an Assemblies of God minister in 1992. I have BA in Bible and Pastoral Ministry from Trinity Bible College in Ellendale, North Dakota and an MA in Biblical Theology from the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary. After serving a pastorate in Nebraska Sherry and I moved to Springfield, MO where I attended seminary and Sherry worked for the Enrichment Journal of the Assemblies of God. Following seminary our family served three years on the island of Tinian with a ministry and private Christian school called Grace Christian Academy. As our time in the islands grew to a close we asked God to send us to a thriving church to pastor and the Lord sent us to Parker in 2000. Grace was a struggling church but God had great plans. Grace Assembly was running between 25 and 50 in attendance on Sunday Mornings. In 2004 We built a house and put down roots in the community. In 2007 we completed a building project adding a Youth Center and Fellowship Hall that we dedicated as the Ron Hill Ministry Center in loving memory of pastor Ron Hill. Sherry became the children's minister of the church. Today we continue to move forward in faith with God's help to preach, teach, fellowship, minister and serve our community.
