My family, including my wife, Kristy, a kindergarten teacher, and my sons Caleb and Cole, are deeply involved in the church and community. I invite everyone to get involved in our Next Gen Ministry, whether you’re a young person looking to connect or an adult wanting to serve. We’re excited about what God has in store for our ministry and look forward to growing together in faith and community.
