Associate Pastor

How did you come to Jesus?
I grew up in a Christian home and attended church every week. I heard the message of the gospel constantly and at 7 years old I came to understand I was a sinner in need of a savior. By God's grace, I came to a saving faith in Him and was baptized.

How/Why did you join FBC Bethalto?
I came to FBC Bethalto in 2015 to be the worship pastor. Through my research of the church I discovered that this was a place with solid Biblical preaching and my vision for ministry aligned well with the church's vision.

What excites you the most about FBC Bethalto?
I get excited because the church is working to equip families to make discipleship happen at home and with loved ones.

What should people know about your role at FBC Bethalto?
I get to work with an amazing group of musicians and we love leading people in worship. I also oversee our adult discipleship groups. Video production has also become one of my major roles here at FBC.

What brings you joy outside of your work?
I'm supposed to say my family. And that's true. My wife Erin and our three children bring me joy. I also like photography, golf, and fishing.

Education/Experience?
I graduated from Missouri Baptist University in 2008 with a degree in music education. While serving part-time at a church I taught full-time elementary music in St. Louis. I began full-time music ministry in 2014.
