About My Family
I am currently serving as the pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, the Battalion Chaplain in the Kentucky National Guard and as the assistant jail chaplain at our detention facility. I stay fairly busy in ministry, but I am also busy coaching and supporting the activities of my three sons.
My wife of 19 years certainly walks beside me through the busy days and supports me 100 percent.

About My Ministry
I am serving as the senior pastor of a congregation of around 200 people. We have a broad range of ages, and our goal is to minister to each according to his or her needs. I strive to lead our congregation to be bold in reaching out to the lost and to have gospel conversations on a daily basis.
My ministry reaches into several other areas as well. I currently serve as the Battalion Chaplain for the 149th Brigade Support Battalion (BSB) in the Kentucky National Guard. I also serve as the assistant chaplain for the Simpson County detention facility.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a "frontline" ministry that is vital to the 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 the using agency 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. A basic qualification from the Chaplains Commission, SBC, is that an applicant is a Southern Baptist who is a member in good standing with an SBC church. Additional qualification requirements may involve certain age limits, educational background, ministry experience, physical condition, financial and credit history, citizenship eligibility for a security clearance, certification by certain national organizations, and other qualifications specific to the Using Agency or Chaplains Commission, SBC.
