Welcome!
I am the pastor of Huntersville Presbyterian Church (HPC) and a member of the North Mecklenburg Rotary Club. I have been here three years following long pastorates in Matthews, NC and Dunedin, FL. A graduate of the University of Florida, I was on the water ski team that won the SEC championship and am an avid Gator fan. I earned my Master of Divinity Degree at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in the Boston area. While there, I also completed my Clinical Pastoral Education at Andover-Newton Seminary and worked part time making homemade fireplace bellows. I did additional study at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, CA. My favorite pastimes include kayaking, road biking, travel, walking, entertaining, reading and playing with our dog Lizzie.
My wife Kristy and I have married 36 years. She taught 3rd grade for four years, stopped to raise our family, and then served as a school Media Specialist for fourteen years. Kristy enjoys being active at HPC, especially teaching the Positive Mom’s group in our home. We have three children. Chris is an English Teacher in Kyoto, Japan. Jennifer runs her own business in Taos, NM after directing community gardens and redeveloping an organic blueberry farm in Gainesville, FL. Jeremy is a student in Gainesville and works for Americorps.
Let me be the first to welcome you to HPC, a place we affectionately call “The Patch.” I hope you will come and worship, and join us for your spiritual journey as you grow in your faith and practice.
HPC is member of the Willow Creek Association. Willow Creek is a wonderful source for Christian books and conferences. Please check out their site by clicking on the logo above.
