I have been blissfully married to the former Pam Britton since November 10, 1984. Pam is a Registered Nurse at a local dementia facility… and loves it! She is the absolute love of my life on earth… a gift from God that I did not deserve. I don’t know anyone more compassionate, kind, merciful, and gracious than she is. Without her, I could not carry out God’s call for my life. She is my friend, encourager, and support during difficult and good times.
We have three wonderful children; Amy (5/24/86. Graduated from Auburn with a degree in Speech Language Pathology), Trey (5/24/89. Attends college close to home for which mom is thankful), and Britton (11/12/92. A sophomore in high school who loves basketball). To the left is my family on Mother’s Day 2008: Pam, Amy, Trey, and Britton (And our Teacup Yorkie “Ellie.”).
I received my Bachelor degree from Samford University in Accounting, a Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Beeson Divinity School of Samford University. For a short time I was able to fulfill my lifelong desire to play college football at The University of Southern Mississippi. I chose to leave USM after a knee injury which led to me graduating from Samford.
I have been a pastor since 1989 serving churches in Mississippi and Alabama. I count it a great honor to have been called by God to pastor, shepherd, and lead His people in the local congregation. The greatest joy of my life is seeing God open the eyes of people’s heart to know Him. The main focus of my call are: Prayer, Preaching, and People (Not necessarily in that order all the time!).
