About
Our Mission is to follow Jesus as disciples who make disciples in Boone and beyond.
Our Vision is to be transformed by the power of God’s grace, perfected in Christian faith and love, so to glorify God with everything.
Our Core Convictions Are Centered Upon:
-Faith in Christ, our Lord and Savior;
-Scripture (Old & New Testaments) as the primary rule of faith and life;
-The early church’s witness and professions (see Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds); and
-The Wesleyan revival’s emphasis of scriptural Christianity for holiness of heart and life.
We Live In Covenant Relationship With:
-God through Christ, first and foremost;
-One another as we watch over each other in Christian love; and
-The Global Methodist Church, a Christian revival movement called to make disciples and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.

Calling. I’m called to serve the church, the body of Christ. In pastoral ministry I’m passionate about helping others claim their God-given identity, clarify their divine call, and support them in faithfully walking a disciple of Jesus.
Family. I’ve been married to Maggie since 2000, and since the very beginning of our marriage we have felt God’s calling to serve Boone. We have two children, Macyn (17) and Nate (15), who are both at Watauga High School. We live downtown Boone in the Grand Boulevard neighborhood and moved into our current home in 2010 for the specific purpose of being in greater proximity to downtown Boone and campus.
