In his statement regarding his spiritual journey he states, “.. there is a direct connection between church and community. The church has a role in demonstrating God’s love in a hurting world. …Faith is a continuous and growing process. I have learned to be open to new ideas and ventures for ministry. The transforming power of God is real. Over time and experiences, God does change us and make us more in the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.”
