STATEMENT OF FAITH I came to know the Lord as Savior at the age of thirteen at Faith Chapel Christian Center, Birmingham, Alabama. I was baptized at the same church. The Lord called me into the preaching ministry at the age of thirty-six. Since then I have sought the Lord's will for life in all I do. I have been a faithful servant and continual learner. My desire in ministry is to serve God’s people while preaching and teaching the Word of God. I further desire to assist in carrying out the great commission that was given to us by God.
