| | In
November, 1996, Gateway Community Church was born! It was a huge
step of faith by eight families who had a passion to introduce people
who are skeptical of God, Jesus and Christianity in general to a way of
doing church where all inquiries are welcome. My very supportive
wife, Sherre, joined me in this faith adventure when our two children,
Terah and Jared, were still in high school. It was as if all of
my ministry years were leading me to this style of ministry.
While
still in Cincinnati Christian University I served a small church in
Northern Kentucky before I was called to be a youth minister for a
little over four years in Clearwater, FL (that was a sweet gig!). And
then we moved to the cold north, the Philadelphia suburbs, where we
still live and serve.
Being the Pastor of Gateway Community
Church has been the most fulfilling time in my ministry career.
The learning curve has been huge; but seeing people come to know Jesus
and welcome Him as the leader of their lives has been worth every
lesson learned. Gateway is comprised of some of the greatest,
most authentic people with whom I have ever served. If you are
ever in the area I would invite you to come and check us out -- and see
for yourself that what I have written is true!
