TESTIMONY
I was raised in a Christian family that worshipped in a Baptist Church, where I was taught the scriptures from an early age by my mother, a Bible Studies teacher, and my father, a Deacon. At the age of 12, I recognized I needed a personal savior and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

PERSONAL
My wife Carol and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary this December. We have three children, two married, and four grandchildren. I am employed by Emerson Process Management, Power & Water Solutions Division, previously Westinghouse Process Controls, for forty-one years where I have held positions in Engineering, Project Management, International Sales & Marketing, and Business Development. During this time, Carol and I had the opportunity to live in Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore where the Lord showed us He is the Lord and Savior of all people regardless of their ethnicity or where they live. In the previous churches I attended, prior to joining Christ Church at Grove Farm, I served as a Bible Studies teacher, a Deacon, a Trustee, and as Financial Secretary. At Christ Church, I have been involved in Lay Readers Ministry and in the Home Group Ministry.

VISION
To have Christ Church be a beacon of light to the lost; to teach and equip each member to be able to serve and support each other; and then to be ambassadors of and for Christ, to the local community and to the world.
