Lead Pastor
It is an honor and joy to be the Pastor of Austintown Community Church, a Church that is passionate about community and about Jesus Christ. My wife, Corrie and I, have been married for over twenty years and we have four girls, Lily, Sophia, Evangeline, and Charlotte. They are definitely a source of joy in our lives. Personally, I enjoy fly fishing, mountain biking, hiking, reading, watching movies, and a good cup of coffee.
I received my undergraduate degree from North Park University in Chicago with an emphasis in Communications. After college I served two years overseas in Budapest, Hungary as an English teacher and missionary. After returning to the United States, I worked six years in camping ministry as a director in Colorado and Michigan. Following, I then had the privilege of receiving my M. Div. at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in the Boston area. Before I came to Austintown, I was a pastor at First Covenant Church in Salina, Kansas. It is my prayer as a pastor that people would know and experience the extravagant grace of God given to us through Jesus Christ. |
