About Me

Well, to start, I am the Youth Pastor at Hickory Road Baptist Church and I am having a great time seeing God work. I also have a full time job but that is not as exciting. My heart's desire is to live a life worthy of Jesus Christ and serve him with all my heart. I believe without a doubt that God has called me into Youth Ministry and I have a passion to teach and reach the youth of today for Christ. My life's verse is Phil 1:21...look it up...it is an amazing verse the more you think about it. Another verse that is truly awesome is Mark 8:34-38...again, look it up.If you want to know anymore just send me a message or comment.
