About My Family

I serve as an Air Force Reserve chaplain at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and as the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church - Brewster, Washington. My wife, Holly, and I have six children who we are raising in beautiful eastern Washington.

About My Ministry

What I most love about serving as a chaplain is getting to pray with airmen and sharing with them about Jesus Christ.

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

Please pray God’s wisdom for me as I minister in a challenging environment and for opportunities to share the incredible love of Jesus with airmen.

Participate

I would encourage you to prayerfully support your NAMB military chaplains and invite one to share with your church if possible.
Become personally invested in the ministry of chaplains. Learn about their ministry context, so you can provide relevant help and resources.
