I am more of a Member at the moment as the CHurch has had greta leadership in the youth department since I stepped away due to having a child and the desire to help my Wife where I could.


Our Little Girl is going on two years old now, and I am finding more time freed up again as she becomes more independent and a social butterfly.


My Wife Lynn and I have been married for four years on Oct 17th, 2025, and she has taught and worked with younger students in our church as well.


I am currently speaking with Deep Springs about Ordination, and they do not seem to have an issue at all with Ordaining me and starting the process. They have stated that they were told that a man must be called to a church before they are ordained, as they were told by the Association which is why they have not ordained me as of yet.


I am happy to answer any questions there might be in person, over the phone, or from email.
