About My Family

I was raised in Bulls Gap, Tennessee, by my mother and grandparents. I attended my first church service at six weeks of age.

My family has been active members of Bulls Gap Baptist church for well more 70 years. My grandfather is a deacon, my grandmother plays the organ, and my mother was a long time Sunday School teacher/youth leader and is now the facilitator of the prayer chain. Throughout my life, my family has always stressed the importance of a relationship with Christ.

About My Ministry

Currently, I serve as a running club chaplain at Liberty University, serve troops as a chaplain candidate, am a PRN hospice chaplain and fill in for pulpit supply. The Lord has and continues to provide opportunities for me in many areas of ministry.

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 are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom chaplains minister. Pray for people to come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray for more to become missionaries and chaplains.

Participate
