At that point in my life I only had a vague conception of what this meant.  As my journey progressed while reading the bible, prayer, and discipleship, my faith and understanding continued to grow.  I really enjoy the way God continues to teach me and shape me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Call to ministry:<\/strong> After high school I was given the opportunity to get involved in the student ministry at my church, and at this point I began to feel God&#8217;s calling to be a part of student&#8217;s lives, to help them know who God is and to understand what it means to live life with Him and for Him.  I have been in youth ministry ever since.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I am passionate about:<\/strong> Helping people realize that God loves them and then seeing them find a full life with God.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been involved in ministry?<\/strong> I have been involved in youth ministry since 1996.  I have been at Faith Covenant since 2002.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think is important that we know about you, as a member of the Speaker Team?<\/strong> I have an amazing wife of 12 years and 4 kids, Jake (b. \u201804), Addie (b. 06), Natalie &amp; Jillian (b. \u201808).  Our life is busy and never uneventful.  We enjoy being outside, boating, watching movies, and when all is quiet, I enjoy rebuilding\/riding old motorcycles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/ywupdate?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=2149&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2190 back to Speaker Team Info Seminars: We\u2019re Here to Serve Currently serving as: Youth Pastor for Faith Covenant Church, Farmington Hills, MI Credentials: B.A. in Youth Ministry and Master of Divinity Bio Spiritual journey: During a week of Junior High camp at Mission Springs in California, I became a follower of Christ.
