Community Service Experience
The duties of being a husband, father, pastor, teacher, and principal generally consume my time.
Mission of Work
Mission happens at the congregational level and in each believer's various stations in life as they serve their neighbors in love. The Synod exists to help congregations walk together, striving for faithfulness to God's Word.
Challenges, Opportunities, and Goals
Obviously we need more church workers! That of course also requires the congregations to support current and potential church workers with a zeal that recognizes everything else in the world is in vain if not for the sanctification that happens through the Ministry of the Word.
My main goal, if elected, would simply be to carry out the responsibilities given to me as faithfully as I could do them and to pray that God provides the time necessary for the completion of that which He wants completed.
