In these days of unprecedented challenges for spiritual leaders and the people of God, my goal is that this blog would offer encouraging and informative helps to fellow servants in the ministry.
In 1986, the Lord brought my wife Terrie and me to Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California, and I have been blessed to serve as the senior pastor here for these past thirty-eight years. God has been gracious to our church, and I am privileged to pastor the greatest church family in the world.
In 1986, the Lord brought my wife, Terrie, and me to Lancaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, California, and I have been blessed to serve as the senior pastor here for these past nearly thirty-five years. God has been gracious to our church, and I am privileged to pastor the greatest church family in the world.
Additionally, I am the president of West Coast Baptist College where our mission is “Training Laborers for His Harvest.” The Lord has allowed us to see over three thousand graduates serving today on harvest fields around the world.
Terrie and I have been married for forty-three years, and we have four married children and eleven grandchildren. It is our joy to see all four of our children serving the Lord with their spouses in Christian ministry and raising their children for the Lord.
The Lord has given me a passion for the work of the ministry as well as for serving pastors and other spiritual leaders. I’ve attempted to do this through the years by hosting an annual Spiritual Leadership Conference, the Spiritual Leadership Podcast, and by writing books and resources for Christians and local churches.
I have been able to write many books for pastors and ministries. These are all available at strivingtogether.com.
