HEART FOR MINISTRY
To see the church (which means the people of the church) come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. I want to see God's people come to maturity in Christ. I desire to see people passionate about God and the things of God. I seek to encourage the members of the body to minister to the body! I want to see people understand the Kingdom of God, and to press into Christ with all their heart, mind, soul and strength.

I enjoy reading, writing, and biking. I am an avid college basketball fan. I am also a former Judge Advocate in the United State Marine Corps. I am married to Janna Pyle and we recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We have one daughter, Aimee Elizabeth, who is a teenager and attends Faith Christian School. I was raised in the Forest area of Bedford County, growing up on a farm where we had horses, sheep and cattle. I loved driving John Deere tractors. I grew up in the Episcopal church, gradually began attending a Baptist Church, where I was saved, and finally received the baptism of the Holy Spirit in a Foursquare Church in Poway, California.
