About My Family

My wife, Karen, and I reside in Muncie, Ind. We are active members of Old Town Hill Southern Baptist Church, where we serve in several ministries. We have three adult children and five grandchildren. My wife and I have both had long careers in education and consider this part of our ministry.

About My Ministry

I am currently the SBC-endorsed State Chaplain Coordinator for Indiana Disaster Relief.

SBC Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites, and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless, and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard-to-reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by their institution and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

Please pray that the Lord will use this ministry to reach people to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Please pray that the Lord empowers us to share His love.
