About us
First and foremost let me go on record as saying I am a born again Christian, saved by Grace through Faith by the LORD Jesus Christ. God has redeemed me, revived me and renewed me, called me to preach His gospel and provided the means and wisdom to earn a biblically sound education, furthermore He transformed a drunk into a disciple. I am thankful for the LORDS mercy and grace on my life and His willingness to use me. My family and I make our home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural western North Carolina, where we serve God as He needs where He needs. Sunday morning February 2, 2003 I publicly submitted to the Lord’s call to preach and that evening preached my first sermon. Shortly thereafter I was licensed into the Ministry, and on Sunday June 18, 2006 the congregation of Outreach Baptist Church called me to my first pastorate. Currently I serve as Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Marion, N.C.
As a preacher and teacher of the gospel my heart’s desire is to see folks saved, disciples made within the church, families strengthened, congregations revived and worship returned to God honoring and Christ centered while working to awaken America to her Christian heritage. While the Bible teaches that a preacher cannot be created in a classroom, the Bible does teach the called man to prepare himself, the Lord has provided for me resources and opportunity to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Ministry, a Master’s degree in Pastoral studies and the Doctorate of Theology all from an accredited, doctrinally sound Bible based seminary. I have tried to never stray from my humble beginnings retaining a biblically sound Old-Fashioned preaching style that communicates Gods word to a spiritually starving world. I am licensed and ordained through the Southern Baptist Church.
