What Genesis Means To You
Genesis has been an incredible learning and growing place for me. Jane and I were attracted to Genesis for three primary reasons. First, the expository preaching. Second, the theologically based worship and Third, the commitment to serving our city, region, state and world.

Where You Grew Up and What You Did As A Kid
I grew up not far from Eureka in what is now known as Wildwood. We lived on 72 acres, had horses and taking care of them was partly my job. We rode bikes, shot BB guns and played baseball in the neighbors cow pasture. I played three sports at Lafayette High School and one in college.
Hope For Genesis
My hope for Genesis is that every member would find their ministry calling and find joy, beauty and grow closer to our Lord in pursuit of it.
