For 16 years I served as the children, youth, and family pastor at Hayward Wesleyan Church in Hayward, Wisconsin. I had the privilege of serving hundreds of students in a unique setting forging community partnerships that ministered and touched not only those who stepped on the church campus and participated in its various ministries, but also those on sports teams, in the local school system, and in the community at-large. I was able to create curriculum, lead new initiatives, begin community traditions that continue to carry on, and generally serve the kingdom of God in the Hayward area...
One of my passions was translating ancient narratives into modern equivalencies and helping students realize their need for the Gospel amidst an environment of honest and relevant learning with hopeful resultant change by the power of the Holy Spirit.
