Dear church family,
I can say with complete honesty that I have never experienced being a part of church that felt more like a family than ours. It has changed our lives, and Hanna and I are deeply grateful to the Lord. As I get to know more of you as an elder, I figured you may want to know a bit more about me and my family.
I grew up in Philadelphia with two faithful, believing parents (George and Carolyn, who recently joined the church as well; in fact, you can typically find them sitting with us on a Sunday morning). I confessed Christ from a young age, but it was not until age 15, when we lived in York, that I experienced true repentance leading me to forsake habitual sins. It was then that I was baptized, and from there the Lord burdened me for ministry. I went to Liberty University, where I met Hanna (a fellow Yorkian), and from there went on to serve at a church elsewhere in York as a student ministry worker. I now serve full-time with ABWE (the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism), in addition to my ministry at the church. Our kids are Davion (10), Lydia (5), and Calvin (2).
What’s your story? If we haven’t yet officially met, let’s connect soon. It is my aim to help the pastors shepherd well and to know the flock well (Proverbs 27:23).
A congregation is more than a group that gathers on Sundays; it is a community committed to Christ, to our inheritance as believers, to Scripture, to love and good works, to the next generation, and to displaying the gospel throughout our locale. May the Lord help us get to know one another better!
In Christ,
