| Introduction | I am a conservative evangelical who refuses to check his brain at the door. I am a graduate of Wesley Bible College, and Asbury Theological Seminary, where I majored in Theological Studies, with a concentration in Philosophy of Religion. I have served across multiple Wesleyan-Arminian denominations, including Congregational Methodist, United Methodist, Wesleyan, Evangelical Methodist, and the Association of Independent Methodists. I tire of denominationalism, and Theological dogma relating to articles not essential to salvation. I enjoy both Classic Hymns, and contemporary music, Liturgical Worship, and loose, modern worship. I have done significant academic work in the areas of church growth, and mission focus. In addition to the work I have done in pastoral ministry, my family and I spent a year and a half working in Taiwan as Mission-Teachers. |
