I was blessed to be hired as Youth Pastor in 2007 and then became the Family and Children's Ministry Pastor in 2011. Following graduation, we moved to Spokane, Washington to serve at Faith Bible Church. During our first year of marriage, the Lord used many circumstances to bring me to The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California. In 2000, I married my wife Melissa in Columbus, Ohio. God granted me repentance and faith in the work of Christ on my behalf at a young age. My parents modeled a love for the Lord and His Word, an urgency to share the Gospel and a commitment to do what Jesus said.
Whether it has been in the Nursery, Care Group, Bible Study, Missions, Youth Ministry, Administration, or even now as a servant-elder - it has always been my joy and privilege to serve the Lord and His body.īy God's grace, I was born into a home where the Gospel was the main thing. The Lord has blessed me with many opportunities to serve and learn about the ministry of the gospel (in spite of, or even through many struggles with my own pride and sinfulness). I grew up in the Placentia/Yorba Linda area and work as a Family Medicine Physician and Residency Teaching Faculty in Anaheim & Santa Ana. We were married in 2006 and have been blessed with 3 children. By God's grace, I met my wife, Susan, here at CBC and after some persistence and much prayer from many people, she finally said "yes". I learned that I was an even worse sinner than I thought and that God, because of His great love with which He loved us (Eph 2:4), provided not only the payment for my sin through the death of Jesus Christ (1 Tim 2:6), but also the imputed righteousness of Christ through His life and resurrection (2 Cor 5:21 Rom 1:16-17) High, God saved me by His grace around 1992 through the college ministry of Grace Community Church (UCLA Grace on Campus - Go Bruins!). Online condolences may be expressed at grown up in the church and even attending Christian school through Jr. The family will receive friends on Thursday, November 10, 2022, from 1:00- 2:00PM at Wages & Sons Funeral Home, 1031 Lawrenceville Highway, Lawrenceville, Georgia 30046. of Lawrenceville, Georgia or Cornerstone Bible Church in Lilburn, Georgia.
