After four years of college, serving as an associate pastor in two different churches, with 16 years of ministry completed, planting a new church in Searcy was an exciting adventure, but not an easy one. In all honesty, my education in Bible college was just the beginning of my learning about ministry! I really believe that I have absorbed much more Scripture and practical ministry learning by the daily “hands-on” indoctrination of the demands of the Lord’s work. My love for study, application, preaching, soul winning, shepherding, and discipleship has deepened through the duties of pastoral ministry here at Liberty Baptist Church in a way that has connected me to the Lord and to people that perhaps would not have happened in any other way.
