About My Family

We currently live in Phenix City, Alabama. I serve as the Brigade Chaplain for the 316th Cavalry Brigade at Fort Benning, Georgia. Michelle and I have been married for 24 years, and we have four wonderful children: Lydia, Trinity, Moriah, and Gabe.

Michelle is an awesome stay-at-home mom and has been homeschooling our children since our youngest began kindergarten.

About My Ministry

I have been serving in the Army as a Chaplain since May 2012. Before entering the Army, I pastored two separate churches in Alabama and Georgia. My current ministry involves ministering to our Soldiers, Department of War civilians, and their family members who encompass the 316th Calvary Brigade.

I also serve as an assistant pastor at Crossroads Chapel, a contemporary Protestant church located on Fort Benning, Georgia.

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, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, 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

Pray for our family as we look to make another transition in the Army in the summer of 2026. Pray our children would faithfully follow after the Lord, especially as they get ready to leave home. Pray for our marriage. Pray God would continue to draw us nearer to Him and nearer to one another. Pray God will use our family to be a blessing to those He places in our lives.
