Has a church in Victory, flew over the city he pastors to pray over it. Grew up in a Christian home.
He was 16 when his dad got saved. he was drugged to church when ever the church doors were open. Grew up in New York upstate. 1985 met his wife PAm. He graduated Zion started a youth group,ephuarata
Went to VFCC for classes. Went to a church where they had to wear ties. He says he has not learned stuff that was applicable from going to school. his first lesson was he was not as smart as thought he was. He hire for chemistry ,character ,and confidence. He started cocky and thought he knew more than he knew. He was very about competitive everything. His first senior pastor was 20 years apart. Two different generations of pastorship. They had to walk down center isle of the church when service started. The pastor gave him a chance a shot to be his youth pastor. The pastor apologized about some stuff in the past. How did he cope and not get bitter in ministry. 10 % that started ministry from the beginning that are 65.They are a lot of Church politics. We don't celebrate it. He coped very naive. He did not think twice about some of the ways he was treated. He is very optimistic and forward minded. You got to realize its not all about you. You can still learn a lot every day . Take every situation and learn from it. He followed through every time even if he did not dis agree with it. different flavors can be good. When do you know it was time to leave your first church. HAd close key people that spoke in his life. So he went to Dover , Delaware. To be a youth pastor. The pastor told him to do want you want to do. the church grew over a thousand. the stupidest thing he ever did. He took over 200 students to a grave yard and they are doing a bunch of activities. a women morning over her son put them in the newspaper and told learned a a lesson and his senior pastor told him to keep moving. He went Canada for three months and was fried. When you run and run and run with out boundaries. You fry. It fueled him to do so much but it drew him away from his kids. His wife was taken care of his kids. Canada second largest youth ministry and He realized that ministry took its tole. He resigned to make a statement to his wife so they would grow stronger. Pam his wife told PC do you think we will ever get back in the ministry he said God knows our mail address. SO he went to New Life to be youth pastors. It was about 300 people to 1200 people. It was a big church in Lancaster. When the light is on come to the house but when the light is on you can come in and talk. The outreach easter drive through. Build twelve life size scenes where 3 cars at a time would go through life size scenes of Christ 3000 cars would go through. People involved will start a Church to grow. It put the church on the map. Tom Kiniath could preach and bought a bus 21 passenger. got for 4 hundred and it not have no brakes down a hill. Then they bought two busses. Bought a bus with out the board knowing. This when Brownsville revival was going on. DO not burn bridges everything is relational. Navigate the personal level you have. Dont get to close.Leave honorably. Peacemaker book off of Amazon. If feels like he has the support of the team he can do anything. learn to let go of each season. Enter each season in your life like its your favorite. the way you end one season is the way you will enter the next season. Read the Bible to know the character of God. Do not live in the past. Moves to Florida to a 1200 member church grew to 5000. from 4 people on staff to 13 people. Bought a PT cruiser before it came out. They would pick up kids in it. They were there for 7 years. He was the main worship leader too. The worship was youthful and it brought people into church. the pastor was forward thinking. Their kid pastors and ministry was awesome. they did a lot of outreach center. They built a dream center. The south is segregated because of income they reached the lower income families to help them out. they tutored kids. They moved back up here. The youth group grew to 700 hundred kids. Hired a associate pastor administrator, youth pastor for high school, and worship pastor for the kids. 2004 they moved up to Victory church as executive pastors and worship leaders. Structure is very important to PC. We are in the Lords hands. SO do not worry.
