About My Family

About My Ministry
I’ve been a SBC-endorsed volunteer chaplain with the Lufkin Police Department since November 2006. Since 2015, I’ve had the honor of serving as the lead pastor at Southside Baptist Church in Lufkin, Texas.
Our church has been dedicated to reaching an unreached people group in Burkina Faso since 2007. We’re also a sponsor church to Nations Church in Houston. Additionally, we’re actively involved in Uganda, where we’re establishing and maintaining an orphanage for about 50 children. We’re also focused on making disciples, training pastors, and starting churches in Nepal.

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.
