About me

Introduction Ruth and I have been married for 19 years and have five beautiful children. I began my preaching ministry at 12 and Ruth began playing the piano when she was 8. We were boyfriend and girlfriend for the first time at 15 and 12. We have performed many tasks and held many positions in churches through the years. Our heart is to pastor full time again. We had a 5 1/2 year break from senior pastoral ministry but have now returned to senior pastoral ministry as founding pastors of Covenant Family Worship Center in Booneville, Ar on March 15,2009. During our break from senior pastoral ministry, Ruth and I have attended and still attend college. I received my B.A. in History at the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith. I am currently enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching program at the University of Central Arkansas. My goal is to also earn a PhD in Ministry. Ruth earned an Associate degree from the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith and is currently working on a Bachelors of Science in Education at the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith. Her goal is to receive a Masters in Counseling and work in a school/church setting and then earn a PhD and open her own practice.
