If I weren't the pastor of Faith Community Church, I would still go to church here. The people at FCC have a hunger for God's Word and a passion to be in his presence during our worship services. They love to serve with the gifts God has given them. They know what it means to reach out to a community that needs Jesus. They really are doing our mission statement: "Honoring God by becoming a community of believers equipped to help others experience a relationship with Jesus."

 

In 2008 our family came to Pipestone hoping to be a part of a church that was growing spiritually and doing all it could to reach the community it was a part of. FCC is.

 

My wife Stacie and I have four beautiful daughters and a wonderful son-in-law. Livia and Stephen live in Aberdeen, SD where he works construction and they both work in ministry at their church. Nora attends Bethany Global University in Bloomington, MN where she is majoring in missions as she prepares for a 14-month mission to Central Asia. Hope and Naomi attend Pipestone Area High School where they are in the 12th and 10th grade. Most importantly, all five of our kids love Jesus Christ.

​

Stacie--my bride of 26 years - is the Godliest person I've ever met. She is wise. She is a leader. She is a servant. She is incredibly pleasing to the eye. She challenges me. She renews my energy. She is a magnet--everyone is drawn to her because of her personality, her humility, her character & her heart. I could go on & on.

​

I am humbled to lead such an amazing family and church family. Fourteen amazing years have passed since our family came to FCC and we look back with encouragement and ahead with great anticipation as we see God continue to do amazing work.
