PERSONAL STATEMENT

Having been reared in a Christian home, Jesus and the church have been common fixtures of life. At the age of five I received Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior through repentance and faith. His perseverance has been in me daily, continually growing me to greater conformation of His image. In 1997 the Lord placed upon me a calling and gifting to preach the gospel and pastor His people. Since that time I have made every effort to hone the gifts He has given me, including serving as Pastor of Limestone Baptist Church for the past two and a half years.
