Vision

I envision a church in the Jordans that is fully convinced of two things: that God accepts and forgives sinners due to the death of Christ on the cross for us, and that our faith rests in that act alone. It is a vision of a church that attracts and seeks out others because we enjoy God and therefore live for His glory and not our own.

For this reason, I envision a congregation of people who love one another, who are accepting of others, inviting them to come as they are to Christ, who are encouraging and enabling each other to move to a greater understanding of our Lord through diligent study of the Bible, honest confession of sin, and humble prayer. My vision is that of a church focused on our relationship to God and not on appearances.

And my vision continues beyond the Jordans: that through generosity of time, talent, money and spiritual gifts Jordan Presbyterian would expand its influence through further church planting in Utah, the broader United States, and the world. In summary, my vision is and has always been that the greatest number of people possible could know the truth about Jesus Christ and would submit themselves to Him. I have dedicated my life to it.
