Ministry

Three decades of preaching, missions & chaplaincy

Three decades of preaching, missions, and chaplaincy.

I currently serve as Pulpit Minister at the Northwest Tampa Church of Christ, where I have preached since 2020. Before Tampa, I served congregations in Midland and Leander, Texas, and from 2017 to 2020 as minister at Central Church of Christ in Del Rio, Texas. Concurrently, from 2018 to 2020, I served as Head Chaplain at Val Verde Regional Medical Center in Del Rio, overseeing chaplaincy for the hospital and its hospice. Earlier, my family and I lived and worked for several years in Ecuador, where I planted the Iglesia de Cristo Cuenca Centro. My ministry there was shaped by the people of the southern highlands, who were with me when I began to read Scripture with new eyes.

I am a board-certified chaplain through both the Association of Certified Christian Chaplains and the Spiritual Care Association, and a CPE Supervisor/Educator through the Institute for Clinical Pastoral Training, having completed four units of Clinical Pastoral Education and four units of Supervisor-in-Training, with a specialty certification in grief support. Chaplaincy taught me what preaching could not: how to sit with people in the moments words fail.
