I chose GRTS because of a desire to serve the Lord.  I wanted a degree from the seminary.

My journey has been shaped by experiencing public education as a teacher and then accepting the call to go into the ministry as a youth and music pastor before becoming a senior pastor.  It was the solid education that I obtained at GRBC, WMU & GRTS that took my gifts and trained me to better serve my Lord.

My life was transformed through the annual Bible Conference where I sat under the ministry of men of God.  I heard Dr. Robert Ketchum, John Balyo, Dr. Strauss and Dr. Warren Wiersbe apply great biblical truths in ways that allowed me to use this information in message and counseling preparation.  To think that my life has come full circle and I am now teaching in the PGS program and working as a counselor here in Grand Rapids...

God is faithful and to now be able to share what I have learned and talk about how the Lord has led me in my life brings me great joy!
