Ourpastor
I believe it to be my great privilege and honor to serve my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the furtherance of His kingdom, through the preaching and teaching of His Holy and Inerrant Word. My hope and prayer is to fulfill the call of God on my life, to build up the body (Ephesians 4:11-12) that we might be able to present every man complete in Christ Jesus (Colossians1:28). To also fulfill the great commission (Matthew 28:18-20) of taking the Gospel to the utter most parts of the world and to live and lead in such a way, that others will see the love, forgiveness and mercy, that God has given to the crown of His creation. I have a deep conviction and passion for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with the entire world.
