Sunnie, Judah, Levi, and I – like so many before us - made the Great Trek to Round Rock from Southern California. It’s funny that we had to travel 1500 miles from California to meet this church planting crew in Texas – but I believe God has a sense of humor! Sunnie and I have been married for eleven years, and have been blessed with our two sons. We have served at New Life Christian Fellowship in West Covina in a whole bunch of capacities, and I had been leading up the worship team there for about four years. Over a course of several months, and in several funny ways, God made it clear that His plan for us included Texas – specifically Round Rock, and so we packed up and followed His call. We are excited to plug in at Summit, to be part of what God is doing here and put our gifts to work for His Kingdom. The best part? My kids love the children’s ministry; I get free coffee after service; Parking is ample… just kidding! Those things are all true and great – but the best part is that I’ve met some real people with authentic faith, who aren’t perfect and don’t pretend to be, but who desperately want to experience the life-changing reality of Jesus – and I totally relate.
Favorite Movies?
Star Wars (any of ‘em), Lord of the Rings (all of ‘em), Up!, Passion of the Christ, Scooby Doo and the Vampire (Ok, that’s Judah’s fave)… I have a 15 month old son, so I have not been able to go to many movies for 15 months…
