Some of the earliest memories that I have take me back to the second grade; everyone was putting a star on the board of what they wanted to be when they grew up. On my star I wrote a preacher. From that moment life began to throw many passions my way from sports to outdoors to eventually firefighting. And all my plans began to push for Fire College and eventually a fire scientist, but in all the planning, I seemed to forget to ask God what He desired and what His plans were. I began to ask God why all my plans were falling through, and the answer I got took me back to the 2nd grade.

 

I graduated Troy University with an Associate of Science Degree and then went to Leavell College of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry Degree. For the last 15 years I have been serving Jesus in the local church. In what started small as a volunteer, God has enlarged my territory and brought me to one of the greatest churches, and continues to allow me to be Senior Pastor for some of the greatest people I have ever known.

I have had the pleasure of working and ministering in some great churches. Some of them very large, some of them small. But, the people are the same, just different names. I have always wanted to help people capture of vision for ministry. Whether it be singing in a choir, playing an instrument, working on the tech team or learning how to chaperone on a mission trip. Ephesian 4:12 has always been my goal to “equip the saints for the work of the kingdom.” While doing so I want to show them how to enjoy being a servant. I love spending time with volunteers and laughing together and sharing the call.

 

Little did I know that I would end up at this place called Boones Chapel. I came out to “fill in” and “help out.” As I watched the attendance grow and God add leaders and change lives, I knew this was a place that was special. We are not perfect, but we try to do things with excellence and the truth is always preached. This is My Chapel!

 

 

I met my wife, Pam while serving a church in Mobile. I “married up” as most people remind me. Thursdays are my favorite away from church. My 2 daughters and 3 grand children usually show up at my house. It is ALWAYS entertaining. I also love watching sports and have been know to visit the Greens family.
