I am the pastor of Graham Friends Church. This is my fourth pastorate and I am finishing my 12th year here inGraham, NC. I served the One Way House (now called Fellowship Christian Church in Springfield, Ohio, for almost eight years, St Paul United Methodist Church (UMC) in the same town for three years, and Christ UMC in Lakeview, Ohio, for nearly six years. How did all of those pastorates come about since I was raised Lutheran and my theology is thoroughly Lutheran? One goes where God calls. That said, I have recently been called to be the first North American Lutheran Church pastor of Saint John’s Lutheran Church in Asheboro, NC. I begin ministry there on May 1, 2012. You’re invited to the ordination and installation service!
I was born in Springfield, Ohio, as was my wife, Susan, who married me 35 years ago this September. She is the Business Manager for the Friedl Building Business Center at Duke University and is looking forward to retirement and being more of the traditional pastor’s wife in Asheboro. We have two married daughters, Cristin and Miriam, and two granddaughters, Corinne and Juliet.
Susan and I are both graduates of Ohio Wesleyan University where we each majored in English Literature. I also received the Master of Arts in Theology from Houston Graduate School of Theology in 2004 and the Master of Divinity in Biblical Studies and Theology from Carolina Graduate School of Divinity in 2011.
