How I came to Christ

I came to Christ as a teen. I had been raised in a Christian home and gone to church all of my life. As a typical teen, rebellion was the main word of my life. After a particularly long period of extreme rebellion my conscience wouldn’t let me sleep one night and I knelt beside my bed in tears and asked Christ to forgive me and surrendered to His relentless pursuit of a chronic rebel.

Youth Pastor

How I came to Christ:

Beginning at about age five I attended Sunday School at Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Kansas City North and under the tutelage of wonderful teachers I grew to love the Lord. I don’t know that there was ever an exact date that I accepted Christ, but I began knowing I was a Christian around the age of eight.

My Passion

I really enjoy and receive great satisfaction from working with young people. For those who don’t know Christ, I hope I can lead them to Him, and for those who already have accepted Christ as their savior I hope to enrich their lives with quality teaching.

My favorite book(s) of the Bible:

Matthew and Luke – I enjoy studying the birth of Jesus from two different viewpoints.

My Hobbies:

Photography

My Favorite Movie or TV Show:

Movie – Grapes of Wrath (1940)

TV –  Gunsmoke (1955-1975)

What makes me laugh:

The humorous antics of Middle School children.  Even though I’ve retired after teaching 28 years I’m still in Middle School substituting because I respect the humor and unabashed love of life that only middle school age kids exhibit.

My favorite restaurant:

McDonald’s
