SPIRITUAL Having been reared by Christian parents who were both Senior Pastors in their
PILGRIMMAGE church and demonstrative in their faith I came to accept Jesus Christ at and early age. Though I strayed it was after a near death auto that I felt the sense of God’s leadership into ministry. I began to prepare myself until the calling became clear to me. Through various ministry opportunities; deacon, church musician, youth leader, I became able to clarify the calling on my life. I believe that God has given me the desire and gifts to serve him as a Pastor. I am committed to helping others gain their own personal relationship with God. And nurturing their spiritual development, empowering them to discover their spiritual gifts and equipping them for effective ministries. Finally, I believe that according to Ephesians 4:11 the ministry is not a place for lazy people it is a place of work to bring the church to oneness.
