There is nothing more exciting that the thought of new life. My wife Holly and I just celebrated the birth of our first child, Easton Christopher. At the same time, there is nothing more worthwhile of celebration than someone coming to new life in Christ. I believe that the church is and will continue to be a missional force that transforms the world one life at a time. By bringing newness, forgiveness, and love, I am a part of a family of people that seek to be God’s hands and feet, right here, right now.

I grew up as a pastor’s and then a missionary’s kid. Living overseas is an eye-opening experience that will change anyones perspective; it certainly has shaped mine. In late high school, I felt called to ministry and went to Southern Nazarene University to pursue my education. Before graduation in 2006, I went into ministry full time as a youth pastor, and eventually an associate pastor. I was ordained as an elder in 2009. In 2011 I graduated with a Masters degree from Northwest Nazarene University. I truly enjoy people, preaching, and prayer. (and I don’t even mean to put those points together with the same letter!)

At Centralchurch.tv we are excited about serving students and their families, hopefully providing serious spiritual leadership and a place to have a lot of fun. Feel free to drop me a line, or email anytime.
