My Passion

God is building His church. I have the privilege to be part of His mission in loving, teaching and equipping His people to do the work of ministry on the south side of Grand Rapids, MI at Good News Baptist Church.

God has given us tools in His Word to effectively use each community that we are part of, for His Glory. These tools can be used both within sacred and secular areas. I enjoy using these tools and training others to use them within Kentwood Public Schools, Good News Baptist Church, Lincoln Lake Camp and Regular Baptist Ministries.

Community Builder

God has given each individual roles where they can lead themselves and others toward following God’s way. I love intentionally coaching, counseling and equipping groups and individuals to grow to follow Christ and help reproduce this in others. I blog at shepherdthoughts.com
