Pastor

I got married to Heather on August 24, 2002, and we had two kids Cameron and Hannah. I moved to Springfield, Missouri in the fall of 2006 to continue my education, me and my family moved back to Indianapolis in summer of 2007 after finishing with the Masters of Church Ministry. I continued with more practical ministry by taking Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at methodist Hospital in the Fall of 2007 and completed it on February 2008 and did a second unit in the Fall of 2008 and completed it on February 2009. I learned much in this service of Hospital Chaplaincy that just can not be taught otherwise. During my education, I served as a chaplain by doing multiple on-call shifts and was the chaplain of several units of the hospital responding to emergency and crisis situations and I provided spiritual and emotional support to patients, family members, and staff. I was ordained in September 2009. I have been a business owner of Elegant Beauty Towel Service from 2013 to now, I work two days a week running the routes. As I attended iBaptist Tabernacle I have been involved in several different ministries: I have worked with the children ministry, I have lead the Worship Team, I was the Youth Pastor for ten years, then I was the assistant pastor for three years and was voted in as pastor in October 2016. My wife and I have been foster parents since September 2015 and have had many foster children come through our home. We adopted our first foster placement, Keri, in March of 2018. Since we have been involved in Foster care God has opened the door to starting the Foster1 ministry at iBaptist Tabernacle. This is My Story.
