Responsibilities
As a member of our Elder/Pastor team, my primary function is in coordination of our Community Groups at Genesis. To encourage existing leaders, and to recruit, enlist, and train new leaders…all in the process of discipleship…all in light of our mission at Genesis.
Family
Though underserved, the Lord gave Melissa to me in marriage…1984. We’ve been blessed with two Christ following sons, Jacob and Jesse…two beautiful daughters-in-law, Randi and Tristan…and three sweet grandkids, Ellis, Emma, and Caleb.
Education
Bachelor of Science, Marketing – Missouri State University, 1980.
What Genesis means to you
Incredible church unity. A community of faith, growing in understanding and love for Jesus, and for one another…and that is serious about the advance of the gospel to Eureka, St. Louis, and the nations. A place where I can grow in Christ!
