Hey! I'm so glad you are checking out The Gathering and I am humbled that you would want to know some of my background and story. Here are some basic facts about who I am and where I came from:
- Grew up in a Christian family in Long Island, NY.
- Went to Messiah College in PA, studied Math and Stats (I know boring).
- Met my wife (Bri) there and got married right after graduation.
- Have one daughter (Reese) and about to have another kid (pray for us, lol).
- Was called to ministry and went to Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (MDiv).
- Moved to the Eastern Shore in 2020.
- Along the way served in youth ministry, worship minitry, kids ministry & preaching.
But there is so much that I can't fit into a bio. The real story is not about me or my plans or ambitions, the real story is about a God who had a better plan. I had something different in mind for almost every bullet point above, but God had His way and I am thankful He did.
I am on this journey of starting a church called The Gathering because I believe that Jesus Christ is the answer for every problem in this world. And as I look around, there is no shortage of problems or pain. Therefore my purpose is to preach the only gospel that saves and to lead a group of people who go into their community and live out that gospel. We will not be a church that sits back and waits for people to walk through our doors. Rather we will go and bring the love of Jesus to the doors of our community.
Now that you have heard my story and my heart, I would love to hear your's. My family and I would love to meet you. Reach out to connect or come check out one of our services or events.
