As a 501(c)(3) organization, the North American Mission Board respects the intent of givers while retaining discretion over the use of all gifts. Any gifts received above the specific need will be applied where the need is greatest.
About My Family
I am married to the former Rhonda McCall of Arcadia, Fla. We have three children, Rachel, Ben and Caleb (who is now with our Lord) and four grandchildren, Gracie, Liam, Audrey, and Noah. We currently reside in Lutz, Fla., just north of Tampa. When not serving, I enjoy reading and a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking and kayaking.
About My Ministry
I recently began serving as an SBC-endorsed full-time in-home hospice chaplain with HPH Hospice, an affiliate of Chapters Health working in the Pasco/Hernando County, Fla., area on team Aquamarine. I enjoy visiting my patients in their homes, and I treasure the “holy” moments that God grants me as I serve the Lord and share His love.
I am also the lead pastor of Carrollwood Baptist Church (CBC) in Tampa, where I have served since 2015. Prior to CBC, I served two churches in the Baton Rouge, La., area and one in south Alabama. I occasionally serve as an adjunct professor for the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary where I received my M.Div. and Ph.D. degrees. My undergraduate work was accomplished at the Baptist College of Florida.

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.
