About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed healthcare chaplain, ordained Baptist minister, licensed clinical mental health counselor supervisor, and a credentialed paramedic. Since 1994, I have been involved in chaplaincy and pastoral care/counseling. In 2022, I was appointed Director of Health Ministry | Chaplaincy at Carteret Health Care in Morehead City, N.C.
I have a passion for pastoral care and counseling within emergency services. Since 1983, I have been involved in emergency services and served as a behavioral health chaplain with several city/county fire/EMS agencies and hospitals in North Carolina. In this role, I respond to disturbing incidents and provide chaplaincy support services (e.g., critical care patient/family support, bereavement support, debriefings, etc.) to the community, emergency responders and healthcare providers.

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 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.
