The local church is God’s instrument for illustrating the sign, witness, and foretaste of the Kingdom of God. “42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” — Acts 2:42-47 First Baptist Church Tyler, Texas2023- Present Minister of Missions First Baptist Church (Plainview, Texas)2016-2018 Interim Senior Pastor First Baptist Church (Shallowater, Texas)2015-2016 Interim Senior Pastor First Baptist Church (Littlefield, Texas)2014-2015 Interim Senior Pastor First Baptist Church (Dimmitt, Texas)2012-2014 Interim Senior Pastor Highland Baptist Church (Lubbock, Texas)2011-2012 Interim Senior Pastor The Chapel in North Canton (North Canton, Ohio)2005-2010 Associate Pastor of Missional Objectives and Young AdultsChurch Planting Coordinator for Church in Dominican RepublicSenior High Pastor/Director of Student Ministry Northside Baptist Church (Corsicana, Texas)2000-2005 Minister to Students First Baptist Church (Briar, Texas)1998-2000 Minister to StudentsInterim Senior Pastor First Baptist Church (Olton, Texas) 1995-1996 Minister to Students First Baptist Church (Happy, Texas)1994-1995 Minister to Students
