I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



I am a man, man of God, husband, father, grandfather, pastor, teacher, mentor and police chaplain. I am blessed, honored and humbled to be Senior Pastor and Founder of Greater Christian Ministries International; a ministry doing great things for great people. Greater Christian Ministries International is a church of destiny reaching and connecting with individuals and families that are searching for a place of worship where the Spirit of the Lord is free, where they are free and where the Word of God is taught and preached with power and simplicity. At Greater Christian Ministries International we teach individuals and families the power and reality of interdependency and excellence. As one of our new Elders and members stated to the ministry recently, "I want to thank you for letting me be myself again." This is what we are about.
I am also the Overseer of Greater Christian Network International. A network that offers licensing, ordination, spiritual coaching, ministerial training and support to those wonderful individuals who feel called into ministry. This network is not only for pastors and churches but also for ministers, leaders and ministries. There are truly great ministries doing great things that should and must be repected and supported. With Greater Christian Network International you are seperate but connected and respected.
I am a man who believes in God through Jesus Christ, family, spirituality, prosperity, positivity, good health, peace of mind, constant learning, personal growth and development of the body, soul and spirit, friendship, happiness and living a balanced life of excellence. I believe in helping people reach their full potential in this life. I live by the code that the teacher is taught by teaching, the healer is healed by healing, the helper is helped by helping; therefore, if we all do what we were destined to do then we all will be a blessing to each other.
I believe in being real and righteous keeping it real and righteous at all times. I believe and live by the theme of living life, "Totally Prosperous."
