Leadership

I am a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and intend to teach the way of Jesus. I desire to reach those who are lost and broken while building upon the foundation of those in faith. My life has not been an easy road with addiction and a struggle to know why I was created truly. I did not grow up in church and had a poor view of who  God was. In my mid-20s, I discovered the true grace of Jesus and that my efforts had been lying in the wrong things for many years. I then began a journey to find out who God called me to be. Through this search, I began to see purpose and true meaning in my life. In 2015 I married my Beautiful wife Jen and now have three kids. God has blessed us even when we were far away from the Lord. In 2017 I began pursuing pastoral ministry through the Free Methodist Church.  I served at New Life Ministries in Endicott NY for 7 years. I started volunteering on the worship team, then found a passion to lead others in worship and became the Worship Assistant. About a year after I was privileged to lead Student Ministries (6-12 grade) and learned so much about how young lives can impact this world. In 2020 I was asked to take the role of Worship Pastor and God showed me gifts I never experienced before. I enjoyed being part of a community and building each other up in Christ.  I was Ordained as an Elder of the Free Methodist church.  God always has next steps in store for us and to my surprise, He called me to be a lead Pastor in 2024. I am blessed to be placed here at Crossroads. I am passionate about going beyond the four walls of the church and being the hands and feet of Jesus.  My focus is to do my best to meet every person where they are, knowing that where they are is not the end results. I hope to walk in the way of Jesus and as a leader, to go first in this journey, to build a tribe of people who are sharing the gospel from a place of joy, passion, and exuberance, because of what Jesus is doing and will do in their life.
