TVC Responsibilities:
I support our Connections Ministry by caring for and recruiting for our ushers.

When and how did the Lord save you?
My mother played a huge role in my coming to know the Lord. We were in church every Sunday, no excuses. When I was 14, I accepted Christ at Pine Cove’s summer camp. During high school and college, I became distant to God unless I was in trouble or needed help. The Lord placed my future wife, Kim, in my life in 1979 while we were both in college. Kim got us plugged in at a local church, and I knew I needed to get serious about this relationship that God had placed directly in my path. From there, it has been progressive sanctification, me seeking the Lord and Him providing.

When did you come to TVC and what brought you here?
I helped facilitate a Bible study at another church, where my wife and I were members. At the same time, I had a friend at TVC inviting me to visit. We finally visited, and it did not take long to know God was calling us to make a change. We have been members for 13 years.
