PicturePresenting my paper at the Stone-Campbell Journal Conference

Welcome!

A warm word of welcome to this website! I trust you will not only come to know me better, but will find the visit enriching and helpful for yourself. 


The goal in my teaching ministry and as a pastor-scholar is that the congregation and students would study the Bible in both a devotional and scholarly manner.

In addition, I agree with
Alexander Campbell, the founder of the movement of churches which I serve as a pastor, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), as he wrote,  


"I have no idea of adding to the catalogue of new sects. I labor to see sectarianism abolished and all Christians of every name united upon the one foundation upon which the apostolic church was founded."

Dear Trinity family and friends,

I have kept you in prayer this year to clearly see all God has for you and Trinity in 2022! 
I know that God desires for you in 2022 to have a heightened spiritual clarity of vision for:

your calling

your purpose

your life

your relationships

Vision is a mental picture of your future state, forceful enough to mold your present! 

The Bible says, "Without a VISION the people perish" (Proverbs 29:18)

May God provide the discernment and and wisdom that you need for your life in 2022!

Whether it’s because of distractions, busyness, or a case of the blahs, we can experience a drift toward indifference in our spiritual lives. We have a need for an ongoing spiritual awakening if we want to become more aware of God’s presence and activity in our everyday lives. In

5. THIS WEEK IN WORSHIP
Through these 26 years with Trinity many of you have surrounded me with prayer to serve and work as your pastor. I believe God is longing for a church to humbly acknowledge her need for the Lord. In the our message this weekend, in Acts 4:28-33, the first church came together to seek God's purpose. They recognized in their prayer service that "without Him they could do nothing" (John 15:5). Our Trinity's vision is grounded in prayer (look at the foundation of our church's vision below this line--prayer is in the foundation of our church and we pray is in your life)


When we dedicate our church to prayer God will shake our lives and daily reveal His vision for life. Join us this weekend to discover the will and way of the Lord in your life. When you are "prayed up" you can deal with the evil one and the challenges you face everyday. Read Acts 4:28-33 to prepare for worship.

6. TUESDAY—MEN’S BIBLE STUDY with Joe Page

Join the men in fellowship and study, Tuesday evenings at 7pm. The Men's group is beginning a Bible study using David Jeremiah's book Where Do We Go From Here? If you would like to participate, please contact Joe Page at 724-989-4168.

I’m looking forward to worship this weekend as we focus on prayer. I am praying as I write this note, that God might use YOU as his ambassador, as salt and light, and as His witness to your spheres of influence!
