I grew up in several Midwest states living most of my life in Minnesota until heading to seminary in Oregon. I came to Christ while a student at St. Cloud State University. Education: Graduate of from Detroit Lakes High School, Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education (History and Speech), St. Cloud State University, St. Cloud, Minnesota; Master of Divinity in Pastoral Studies and Master of Theology, Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon. I currently serve as the Associate Pastor of Global Outreach here at Grace (2005-current). I also served as Pastor of Adult ministries at GBC from 1999-2005. Prior to my call to GBC, I had the privilege of Pastoring the Wilsall Community Church in Wilsall, Montana as its senior pastor from 1986-1999. In addition to my pastoral roles, I have been an adjunct instructor in Bible Exposition and Historical Theology at Montana Bible College, Bozeman, Montana since 1990 until 2020. Beginning in 1995, I’ve taught modular classes to pastors / students at a number of conferences and Bible Schools in the U.S., Ukraine, Africa (Rwanda, Zambia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Kenya), and in Russia (Pskov and the Caucus Region). I have had the honor of being married to my wife Terry -- 40 years this coming March 28th, 2021. We are the parents of three children: Jonathan Edward -- Jon is married to Kaysie; they are the parents of Jacqueline Maries who is 11. Micah David who is married to Rachael. They have an infant son, Josiah David. Kathryn Grace – Kate is single and lives in St. George, Utah My life verse, the one I try to live out, is 1 Corinthians 4:2. “Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.” (NKJV) Next to my family, I love the outdoors . . . I am an avid hunter, hiker and enjoy gardening, a good cup of coffee and reading a good book. Oh . . . Matthew said I was supposed to say what my favorite flower is. Just about any flower will do but I am partial to Daisies and wild roses.
