Serving God with His people at Faith OPC has been a great joy and blessing. When I grow up, I want to umpire Little League Baseball. I will revel on that day when I can say to a 10-year-old boy after four pitched balls, "Take a walk in the sunshine." My wife of 30+ years, Peggy, consistently demonstrates the love of Christ and remains my very best friend. Our six children, our four lovely, sweetie-pie daughters-in-law, and our four grandchildren serve as resident theologians.

Buddies Stick Together


From the Book, Unfashionable---Wise, Faithful Words on the Church Being a Called-Out, Gathered People

“The church is meant to be a God-formed community of people who have abandoned the notion that life can and should be lived in isolation. Christians are connected people—connected with each other by God the Father, through God the Son, in God the Spirit. This is why we make a difference in our community being a different community—Christians working with other Christians, churches with other churches. When we exhibit corporate togetherness, we show the world God's original intention and design, not only for individual human lives, but also for human communities.”


From Multnomah Press, this is the book, Unfashionable by Tullian Tchividjian, see page 110.
