My family and I came to be a part of the Providence family in January 2023, after accepting the call to be their Senior Pastor. I have a passion for preaching the Word of God and ministering to multi-generational congregations. Generations are essential to the vitality and vibrance of any church, and I am so thankful that God has blessed the congregation of Providence with that same vitality.
My wife, Malena, and I have been married for 15 years and have four children. Prior to moving to North Carolina, my family and I served at churches across Texas, from DFW to East Texas. I spent over ten years serving in student and college ministry settings, and over five years in an Executive Pastor role.
I was licensed and ordained in my home church of West Baptist Church in Batesville, AR. I've earned a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry from Williams Baptist University, a Master of Arts in Christian Education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Master of Theological Studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
