At Year 10: One Pastor’s
Why
This week’s eNewsletter feature

FPCE Senior Pastor.
Greetings!
Recently, someone asked me,
Why did you become a pastor?
For me, there is only one answer: Love for God and love for people. By the grace of God, I never want to become a money-hungry, ladder-climbing, spotlight-hogging pastor. I don’t work for a paycheck, or for power. I work for the glory of God and the building up of the Church.
My journey as a pastor did not begin at my ordination in May of 1986. My pastoral vocation really started when I was in high school, helping to lead our Thursday night youth group meetings, our Saturday night Youth For Christ meetings, and serving in my home church, Glad Tidings Open Bible Church.
