This is where you get to learn something about the guy standing in the pulpit most Sunday mornings here at the Newburgh Church of Christ.
The apostle Paul said, "follow my example" but he added, "as I follow the example of Christ." (I Corinthians 1:11 - New International Version) He also said, " I decided that while I was with you I would forget about everything except Jesus Christ and his death on the cross." (I Corinthians 2:2 - New Century Version).
I've been some places, had some experiences, and learned some things. And, none of that really matters does it? If you're focusing on me or any other leader in this congregation then we're blocking your view of Jesus and need to get out of the way.
However, for those who are just curious: I grew up in the Northeast; served an enlistment in the Army as a German linguist; married Leann (best thing in my life next to Jesus); got a degree in English & a commission in the Air Force from Angelo State University, San Angelo, TX; helped Leann have our son Matt (next best thing in my life next to Jesus); retired from the Air Force after a career as an intelligence officer and instructor; got a degree in ministry from Southern Christian University, Montgomery, AL but like most in our fellowship have been studying the scriptures seriously since meeting Jesus; served as a minister in congregations in Randolph, NJ, & Horseheads, NY; and taught at a private Christian school in Pottstown, PA & at my alma mater Newton High School, Newton, NJ. It has been my pleasure in the Lord to serve as the senior minister at the Newburgh Church of Christ since May 2005.
If you want to know more about Jesus Christ I invite you to attend one of our LIFE Groups, come to our Sunday morning bible classes & worship services, or contact me for a personal bible study at:
