years of professional experience
I am a minister who first puts God first in all things and believe in praying and following Gods directions. I at the present time belong to the Ebenezer Baptist Church where Terry Poplar is my pastor. I am licensed and ordained (Nov. 2022) and have been in the ministry since 2018. I enjoy hunting and fishing with my son, playing music, and coaching youth softball and basketball with local teams in the hardeman county area. I believe that under the guidance of God I can push the church in the right direction for growth of the membership as well as the youth. The youth are the church of today as well as tomorrow. I have experience in sermon preparation, holding and conducting meetings, teaching weekly bible study, and sunday school for adults as well as the youth. I stand for honesty and fairness for everyone. I stand on the word of God.
