My mission is to turn people’s hearts to God in true worship, worship that in heart and form magnifies and brings pleasure to God.  I plan to do that by engaging the power of God the Spirit by using His Word to change hearts.

 

  • I desire to impact church leadership

 

…by writing the book “Worship in the Word; Reasoning from the Scriptures,”

 

… by speaking to church leaders about these critical issues where and whenever God allows,

 

… by developing an internet or email “presence” that stimulates thought and interaction with pastors and students,

 

… and by developing mentoring relationships with other like-minded leaders.

 

God willing, I would also like to spend a least a couple weeks a year helping foreign church planters and trainers. Some of my fondest memories have been teaching and preaching on worship and church music cross culturally.

 

  • I desire to impact family leadership

 

…by writing a practical help in a scripture overview on worship and music, beginning with the Word and then moving to application

 

… by speaking in churches whenever possible to families about revitalizing personal and family worship and making wise musical choices

 

…and by designing and leading worship services as God gives opportunity.

 

  • I desire to impact young people

 

…by writing book on a junior youth age level that lays down basic concepts about worship and music,

 

… by developing an 8-week curriculum for grades 1-9 on worship and music that has application for Sunday schools, Christian schools, and home schools,

 

…and by developing and presenting a VBS program that uses the building of a duplicate tabernacle as a tool for teaching about worship and music and the transformation of worship by Christ as taught in Hebrews.

 

I came to know the Lord as a teen and from my earliest days have been passionate to know and follow what the Word says about worship and music. I have spent the last 25 years leading a diverse music ministry at Calvary Baptist Church in Lansdale, PA. Having completed my Doctor of Ministry degree at CBTS I am burdened like never before to help local Baptist churches think biblically and sharpen their focus and skills in these important areas. If I can help you in any way as you seek His will in your worship and music we would be honored to serve. Please contact us.
