Philosophy
The people of God have a story. As a pastor, it is my responsibility to understand our story; to never let the flock forget who we are. We are created in the image of God and set apart for God to share His Gospel to a world in need of transformation. We are called to be Christ-like and to passionately pursue a life-long journey of transformation. My philosophy of ministry is not about “I”, but about “We”- “We, who are in Christ Jesus.” In my opinion, a pastor is a leader who promotes unity, speaks truth, and points to hope in the Triune God while tending to the flock, creating a healthy atmosphere, and proclaiming Good News to all near and far.
