BY GOD’S GRACE I WAS BORN INTO A CHRISTIAN HOME and heard the gospel from an early age. I first came to the Lord for salvation at the age of 5, and a few years later gave public testimony in baptism of my faith in Christ. However, in the following years, I wrestled greatly with sin and with doubts about whether or not I had been born again. The Lord brought me into a time of utter desperation and despair from which I looked to His crucified Son, the One who bore in His body all my sin, and the only One who is able to save me. At an early age I knew the Lord wanted me to serve him in the ministry. He lead me to Bob Jones University where he equipped me with a BA in Church Music and a MA in Theological Studies. During that time the Lord confirmed His calling to the ministry through multiple internships at my local church. I was later given the privilege of serving as a mentor to undergraduate students at BJU, which helped prepare me to serve as a youth pastor. I have been serving as Pastor of Youth and Music at Calvary Baptist Church since February, 2020.

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5 KJV)
