Leadership

My wife Theresa and I began our ministry at Emmanuel in 2003 when I served as the children's pastor. When we arrived at Emmanuel we didn't have any children of our own. In 2004 our daughter Chloe joined us and three years later our daughter Kendyl joined our family. In 2008, our ministry to the children and families of Emmanuel ended and we moved to California to continue pursuing God's call on our lives. After four and a half years of great ministry, soaking up the sunshine, and spending time with grandparents, God began to stir our hearts once again. Never did we think for one second that God would call us out of children's ministry, or back home to Lewiston, but that's exactly what He did! In 2012, we moved our family back to Lewiston and returned to the staff at Emmanuel where I served as the Associate Pastor of Student Ministries until October of 2022. As of October 2022 my wife Theresa and I accepted the position of Senior Pastor at Emmanuel Baptist.  It is a privilege to serve the families of Emmanuel and the LC valley, and an honor to say that we are home. 

Stephanie and I were married in 2012. After spending some time serving within a ministry in Seattle, we moved back to my hometown in Clarkston Washington. For the next 8 years she and I served students within broken homes around the Clarkston area along with my father within a ministry that he had developed. We have 3 children. Israel is our oldest, while Gracelynn and Naomi came second and third. We enjoy board games and family nights and are especially fond of telling stories. Our family raises goats and chickens and we enjoy every minute of it. After Covid we were given some time off from ministry and for two years we waited patiently for what God was calling us to next. In 2021 He called us to Emmanuel Baptist to which we have been serving ever since. We love the relationships we are continuing to build within the LC Valley and are grateful to the people within Emmanuel Baptist for the love and connection that they continue to provide.

My husband Brad and I moved here with our three children in 2002. We had frequently visited the area on vacation to see family and friends, and had fallen in love with the church family here at Emmanuel. I accepted the Lord as my Savior 46 years ago and have served in many different ministries over the years including music, youth, and singles.
