About My Family
I began my chaplain ministry a few months before the pandemic began. Prior to this, I served in many different church ministry roles, including pastor. For sixteen years, I managed a Lifeway Christian Store. I have a Master of Divinity and a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from Gateway Seminary. My wife and I live in the Sacramento area with our two daughters.
About My Ministry
I serve as a full-time SBC-endorsed staff chaplain for a hospital in the Sacramento area. My ministry is to patients, families and hospital staff.
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.
