Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I am excited to join this family of faith at Jones UMC as your pastor. I grew up a preacher's kid and cradle United Methodist in Oklahoma. I love the church and believe we have a powerful message of God's love and grace to offer this community and the world.
I share my home with my four-footed daughter Scottie, a Heinz-57 mix who keeps me on my toes!
May God bless us as we begin this journey of ministry together!
