Personal Statement of Salvation
I was blessed to be raised in a Christian household where my parents ensured I was immersed in the teachings of Christ and the church. At the age of 7, I was baptized after answering God’s gracious call to repentance and belief through the faithful preaching and teaching of the Gospel in my home and church community. My call to ministry became clear while serving as a Junior Deacon, as my Pastor helped me recognize my deep love for the Church and my passion for teaching and preaching the Gospel. After wrestling with the weight of this call, I surrendered to it and delivered my first sermon on September 8, 2002. Since then, my greatest desire has been to faithfully proclaim the Gospel and shepherd the souls entrusted to my care.
Ministry Statement
To tell everyone the wonderful news of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, encouraging souls to believe in him as the Lord and Savior of humanity, to guard and teach every soul entrusted to me by God with all the wisdom of the Gospel in order to present every one of these persons perfect and complete in Christ Jesus, to equip these persons to passionately pursue their sanctification Christ Jesus and to spread the Gospel in their surrounding communities and in the world abroad.
Doctrinal Belief
I believe in God the Father, who sovereignly created and rules over all things, Jesus the Son, who came to offer eternal life to those who would repent, believe, and faithfully obey him, and the Holy Spirit, who is actively working in the lives of believers. I believe the Bible to be the infallible and inspired Word of God, sufficient for all the Church’s needs, including primarily its growth in holiness to the Lord.
