About My Family

My wife, Jolene, and I live in the St. George, Utah, area. The Lord has blessed us with three beautiful children who love the Lord. Our 18-year-old son, Ethan, helps us with ministry here in St. George and is preparing for an International Mission Board (IMB) mission. Our son, Ashton, attends college in Salt Lake City, and our daughter, Rinsley, is married to Cole in Ephraim, Utah, with our precious granddaughter, Eslie.

About My Church Plant

We have been sent out by Crossroads Church in Salt Lake City to plant a church in the St. George, Utah, area. Our hearts are burdened to share the true gospel and the real Jesus with the lost in Utah, especially the Latter-day Saints (LDS) population. Jolene and I were raised as Mormons for more than 40 years, so our greatest hope is to see true gospel churches dot the map all over Utah.

Lord willing, our plan is to begin the church in the first half of 2026.

NAMB Church Planting

Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.

Pray

Please pray for our Bible studies, which are being held in our home. Pray God will use them to convert unbelievers and gather a group of Christians who are zealous for His gospel and desire to be part of this church plant. Pray the true gospel will take hold in Utah and that God will use us and all of the gospel preaching churches in Utah to build His kingdom and take down the strongholds of Mormonism that have prevailed for too long in this land.
