Why do you work at Fairhaven?

The timing of the beginning of my serving on staff was a God thing. I was getting ready to accept a ministry position at an Alliance Church on the east coast when Pastor Pete Schwalm called to invite me to serve on staff at Fairhaven Church as the Equipping and Outreach Pastor. Looking back it has been a perfect ministry fit with my missionary service as the President of an Evangelical Bible Seminary in La Paz, Bolivia and my role as mission pastor in another Alliance church. It is a joy to serve with a tremendous godly and gifted staff and ministry leaders in a cutting edge missional church that is impacting our community and the nations for Christ.

Your faith

Raised under the influence of loving and God-fearing parents who took me to church, I received Christ as my savior through the Navigator’s Campus Ministry while in college. The Lord used five Godly men who discipled me during my first eight years of my Christian life to guide me into the ministry.

Bible verse

“You did not choose me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.” John 15:16
