About My Family
I recently retired after serving in vocational ministry for 36 years. Most recently, I was the association director of missions for the Etowah Baptist Association in Gadsden, Ala.
About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed chaplain with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (State Troopers). For more than 27 years, I have served in law enforcement and disaster relief chaplaincy. Also, I am with Disaster Relief for the Etowah Baptist Association. I’m also serving as chaplain for the Rainbow City Police Department in Rainbow City, Ala.
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.
