Reaching Kids First to Reach the World

I am a PK, a preacher’s kid, who grew up in the church. I was born again at age 8 in a kids church service and said yes to a call into ministry at 15 years old. After high school, I earned a BA in Bible and Pastoral Ministries from Southeastern University. I earned a Masters in Ministerial Leadership from SEU some 32 yrs later. My wife Tammy and I have served as full-time Kid’s Pastors for 36 years in South Carolina and have traveled to reach lost kids and families overseas since 1989.

I started ministering to kids when I was 13 yrs old by doing puppets. At that young age, I received a special gift, Rosco - a “CRAZY”4 ft chicken, who has been by my side all these years!

Our ministry includes:

  1. Impromptu (out front) puppetry

  2. Ventriloquism

  3. Gospel Illusions

  4. High energy interactive Bible stories (like you have never seen before)

  5. Powerful altar times (God changes hearts)...all with the goal of reaching kids for Jesus and inspiring/training Kidmin leaders.

As a Kids ministry specialist, I have experience in: 1. Bus ministry and sidewalk kids church (20 yrs), 2. School Assemblies/outreach, 3. Kids church services/environments (including set design), 4. Team building/leadership training (Elementary/Preschool), 5. Curriculum development/writing, 6. Missions ministry/ training abroad.

As a founding member of the Carolina Kidmin Network, and the annual Bridge Conference, I am committed to developing Kidmin leaders at every level. I love consulting, coaching and networking with Kidmin leaders.

For the last 8 years I have traveled to train Kidmin leaders to reach and grow kids at home and abroad in places like: Costa Rica, Honduras, Liberia West Africa, and Romania to name a few places.

I am available for Kids Crusades, Kids camps, Kids church services, Outreach, Kidmin Leadership training/development, Consulting, Coaching/mentoring and Networking!

My passion is to share the Heart of a Kid’s Pastor and the tools/ gifts we have multiplied all these years with as many Kidmin leaders as possible.
