From the beginning of my ministry, it has been my conviction that teaching and preaching what God says in His Word is more important that making people feel good about themselves. I BELIEVE the Bible is the authority in every aspect of our life. As Pastor of New Life Baptist Church, I want those who attend to hear the truth of the Word of God. It is my responsibility to Study the Word and to Share the Word as accurately as I possibly can. As Pastor I must do this as truthfully and lovingly as I am directed by God.

I love what God has done in the life of New Life Baptist Church through the years. Many Churches have sprung up and died away but God has kept New Life alive and strong. I believe that God has much more to be accomplished through New Life in this area. I believe that we as a Church can do great thing if we will let God lead.

I want those who attend New Life to know that they are loved by me as Pastor and those of the membership. It is and will always be my prayer that people of all walks of life will feel welcomed and loved. I am a 24/7 Pastor. If you need me, I expect you to call me that I may be able to minister to you the best I can.
