Christian Experience

  • Made a profession of faith in Jesus Christ at age nine, the child of Christian parents.

Statement of Faith

  • He is an evangelical Christian with an openness to the working of the Holy Spirit in our day. He agrees with the statement of faith of the National Association of Evangelicals, though he is not presently a member of that fine organization. He strongly believes in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as our authority for faith and practice.
  • While he is an active member of a denomination, he believes in the essential unity of all believers in Jesus the Lord and is non-sectarian in his approach.
