Pastor, First Mennonite Church of Richmond
How did your experience at Goshen College inform your vocational calling and/or approach to ministry?
GC helped me develop a philosophy that integrated science, sociology, history, art, literature, biblical studies and theology into a coherent vision for serving the world. I have brought this powerful integration into my ministry.
What gives you the most satisfaction in your work?
Communicating Jesus’ message and ministry in creative and effective ways, bringing about healing, meaning and vision for the congregation.
What advice would you have for GC students interested in ministry?
The church needs leaders who are emotionally mature, self-starters, compassionate, creative and crazy about God. Don’t try to save people; just serve them and rest in God.
