I am the Pastor at Terlton’s First Baptist Church in Terlton, OK. Terlton is a community of about 90 people located in Pawnee county. I have been the Pastor of FBC since January 1, 2008. Before coming to Terlton I spent 15 years in Student Ministry working with students in Oklahoma and Texas. I also have a passion for missions, having led groups into multiple places in the US as well as taking groups into Eastern Europe and Peru. In February of 2009, I went with a group of ministers into the nation of Malawi. It was absolutely amazing. God truly poured blessing on our group as well as the people in Malawi. If you want to see pictures and music from the trip, click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQtJlizc6j4. I went back to Malawi in March of 2010. Our team saw 414 people come to faith in Christ in 5 days of ministry. Click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CfcftDUabM to see a video from that trip. God blessed me again by sending me to Malawi in March 2011 and our team led 315 people to saving faith in Jesus. Click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTCwrDE4J3U to see the video of this trip.

My wife Shelly and I have been married since September of 1999 and we have three daughters. Taylor Michelle was born November of 2001, Sydney Paige was born March of 2005, and Emiley Ryanne was born December of 2006. We have one dog, a Manchester Terrier named Flo, and about five cats that hang out around our home - but they don’t count because cats are worthless.

I was 16 years old when I accepted Christ as my Savior and Lord and followed His call in my life to serve Him in ministry about a year later. I was raised in church and knew all about God but didn’t have a meaningful relationship until then. My heartbeat and passion is for people to know that they are called to be more than average Christians. They are called to be passionate disciples of Christ. My life verse is Acts 4:13 which reads, “When they observed the boldness of Peter and John and realized that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed and knew that they had been with Jesus.” When people see us do they notice something different about us? But more importantly do they see us as people who have been with Jesus?
