I came here by accident...only God knows how I graduated!

 

In the Summer of 1999, while in the process of leaving the Army after 14 yrs of service, I was looking for someplace in the local area where I could pursue training to equip me to become a better pastor. My pastor lived next door to Bill Austel who was attending NBS at the time and picked up a brochure for me.

 

After applying and subsequent interviews, I decided that NBS was where I wanted to study. I knew that NBS would provide solid, biblical training in not only theology but practical areas as well, like Pastoral Care and counseling.

 

What I didn't realize was how NBS would help me take theology and put feet to it; to understand that everyone is a theologian because our theology ought to inform how we live and the decisions we make.

 

Since graduating I have moved to Southern Oregon to plant a church. I have been striving to build a church community that understands that "church" is not a club we belong to that has meetings Sunday mornings but is a community to which we belong 24/7; a community much larger than our local gatherings; a community that brings hope to a dying world.
