Summary
I am seeking to serve Fellowship Wesleyan Church as Lead Pastor in obedience to a call from the Lord. I deeply love this congregation, and my calling and leadership have been shaped within this church—walking with students, families, leaders, and congregants in discipleship, pastoral care, and mission. I believe I can use the gifts God has given me here to help advance God's plan to revitalize our church and move it toward His renewed vision for this body and the greater Buffalo area. I feel led to shepherd our church toward deeper surrender to Jesus, faithful participation in God's mission in our everyday lives, and a culture of deep, diverse community that overflows with God's love to the community beyond the four walls. I do not want this position for career advancement but because I believe the Lord is calling me to serve in this way. I want what the Lord wants for our church, and if the committee hears God confirm this, I will be humbled and honored to lead Fellowship Wesleyan Church.
