Our Pastor
I began my Christian education as a young child in the Missouri-Synod Lutheran church, and I remember dedicating my life in service to the Lord on a retreat when I was thirteen years old. Right after high school, I attended Concordia College in Bronxville, NY, intending to teach English at a Missouri-Synod high school.
In my third year at Concordia, I experienced a “dark night of the soul” that ended with my dropping out of college, leaving the Missouri-Synod Lutheran Church, and one day, dropping down on my knees and asking God, “Who are You?” This was the beginning of a spiritual journey that included ten years in the Unitarian Universalist Church.
During my time in the UU church, I found that I loved learning about world religions, which greatly helped me to redefine my relationship with God and the Lord. Eventually, I felt a strong urge to return to the Christian Church and reclaim my promise to serve the Lord. After church hopping for a while, I found my new home here at Saint Paul’s.
While attending Saint Paul’s, I began studying at the New Vision Interfaith/Interspiritual Seminary in New York, New York, and I was ordained in June 2013 as an Interfaith/Interspiritual minister. I believe that all true religions share one underlying truth: God is love, and we are eternally joined with Him and all of Creation in Christ.
I currently teach technology classes at ESU and GED classes at MCTI. I am also a tutor with the online writing lab at LCCC. I enjoy meditation, reading, writing, singing, listening to music, and going out to eat. I live in Easton, PA with my wife, Tabatha, and our spirited labra-doodle, Jackson. I currently lead A Course in Miracles study group in Easton.
