Pastor Richard's personal mission is to bring more people to Christ, and to propagate the message of holiness through administrative leadership that effectively builds a solid foundation for outreach and discipleship. He has a passion to help churches and Christian organizations find their specific calling and to implement intentional steps toward achieving the vision and goals that God has given them. With over 20 years of military and corporate experience prior to entering ministry, he brings unique insight for building teams, implementing policies and processes, and establishing relationships within communities.

Pastor Richard believes that every person should understand what they believe and why. He enjoys teaching and discipling believers to better understand Biblical truths and the nature of Christ. His teaching on subjects, such as Cults 101, helps believers to recognize false theology and to more effectively witness to diverse groups.

Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. (1 Peter 5: 2-3 NIV)

He must become greater; I must become less. (John 3:30)
