Youth Group - Sunday at 6 PM, ages 6-12 I did not grow up in a church. I did not go to Church seriously until I met the most beautiful woman in the world. When I asked her out and she said yes, I was stunned. All the while she kept talking about God,

Jesus the Bible and I really had no idea what she was saying. I truly believed that because I was a good person; did not drink, did not rob banks, was generally obedient to my parents that was good enough to “get me in”. On one date, she had the nerve to tell me that I would spend eternity separated from God because of my sin. For the first time I was confronted with what I believed about God, Jesus, the Bible and sin. I went to Church the next Sunday, and gave my heart to Christ in May 1988. Not too long after that I had a sense that God wanted me to do something but I was not sure what it was. Eventually with the help of a wonderful pastor, I realized God wanted me to be a pastor. I gave up my dream of becoming a mechanical engineer and we headed off to Clear Creek Baptist Bible College and I have been preaching and teaching ever since. I have pastored in the inner-city of Covington, KY; in a rural area of Pendleton Co., KY; I served on staff at Big Bone Baptist Church; and Since March 2007 I have had the privilege to be the pastor of First Baptist Church of Rising Sun IN. The family:

I married Tricia the evangelist on August 5th 1989. She is a graduate of the University of KY, & Thomas More. We have three children: Aaron who is a student at Indiana University (you may insert your own joke about a UK fan’s son going to IU here), Taylor a freshman in High School and our youngest daughter Kate (adopted from China) who is in the 3rd grade. Hobbies:

I enjoy woodworking, hunting & fishing.

Some people have quietly drifted from church—not because they stopped believing in Jesus…

…but because church started feeling routine instead of alive.

The early church was filled with:
hope,
purpose,
prayer,
community,
and mission.

What if God still wants that for His people today?

This Sunday we begin:
THE CHURCH ALIVE

Easter reminds us that Jesus is alive.

But what happens next?

After the resurrection…
Jesus sent His people into the world with hope, purpose, and mission.

The Church was never meant to simply exist.
It was meant to come alive.

This Sunday we begin a brand-new series:
THE CHURCH ALIVE
Rediscovering God’s Vision for His People

Maybe this is the season to rediscover not only what church is…
but what it can become.

We’d love for you to join us.
