    My burden is for preaching and teaching the gospel message in order for souls to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. I desire to strengthen Christians to grow in wisdom, knowledge and understanding of God's word. My effort in preaching also addresses the needs for families to be united around the bonding of Biblical truth. It is my belief that preaching should deliver spiritual truth with love, conviction and compassion through a Christ-centered message relevant to our daily lives. My convictions are deeply founded in the beliefs of the Baptist faith and doctrine.

    I BELIEVE IN THE:
    Infallible Word of God
    The virgin birth of Christ
    Mankind's payment for sin is by the blood of Christ
    The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ
    The Second Coming of Christ

    "IF I DO IT NOT BUT TO HONOR GOD,
    THEN LET ME DO IT NOT AT ALL."
