Ministry Philosophy

Picture
There is a saying out there that some "evangelists blow in, blow up, and then blow out." We never want a pastor to have to pick up the pieces after we have been in his church. On the contrary, we want to be a construction team, assisting in the building up of the flock and challenging them to greater dedication, Christian maturity and service. We know (from twenty-three years of experience) the great pressures, burdens and difficulties that pastors and their wives go through, as well as the joys, blessings and victories. We want to be an encouragement to pastors and their wives.

As a preacher/teacher, I want to have a balanced ministry of reproving, rebuking and exhorting the audience from the Word of God. (2 Timothy 4:1) I speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and never blister and bruise God's heritage. I let the Sword of the Spirit (Hebrews 4:12) do its wonderful work, but it is never my goal to "skin sheep". Along with fervent preaching, it is my goal to instruct in righteousness.

Music Ministry

Picture
Doug has written over 40 original Christian songs and plays the classical guitar, and Donna plays the piano and hammered dulcimer.  
Donna and I love to sing for the Lord. We do not come to churches, Christian colleges and camps as entertainers or performers. Our music is conservative, Biblically-based, and Christ-honoring. There is not a trace of the worldly beat or secular styles in our vocal or instrumental music. We sing, first and foremost, to the Lord (Colossians 3:16); and we always strive to have our music edify God's people and be a blessing.


Ministry Goals

Our 3 ministry goals are:
  • To exalt the Lord Jesus Christ through our lives, my preaching and teaching, and our music;
  • To evangelize the lost through both preaching and personal soulwinning, and by promoting the planting of churches; 
  • To edify believers through preaching, admonition & encouragement, through our music and through publications and recordings.
