Men,
Join us for the Alaska Men's Summit 2016. The theme for this year’s summit will be "How to build a better marriage". Our guest speaker will be local Pastor Dan Jarrell. We will also have a half dozen break-out sessions on topics related to marriage such as: Finances, Praying as a couple, Sex, Communication/ Listening, Forgiveness/ Reconciliation, Parenting. The interactive workshops will be led by local pastors and Christian Counselors.
I’m married to Kathie and we have 5 children (Jessica, Amy, James, Andrew, and Molly). Kathie was born and raised in Alaska and after spending 12 years in Little Rock, Arkansas, we returned home in 2000 to serve at ChangePoint. I entered a relationship with Jesus in 1977 while studying Geology at Southern Oregon University and over time realized that God had given me a passion to teach the Bible. Before coming to Alaska, I served on the faculty at Multnomah University, planted a church in Conway, Arkansas and served as teaching pastor with Fellowship Bible Church of Little Rock, Arkansas. I have a Master of Divinity, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Western Seminary in Portland, Oregon.
I love the church! My passion is to lead the church as it becomes a community that enjoys God fully, is constantly transformed by God’s Spirit, and demonstrates the heart of Jesus to the world around it. ChangePoint is becoming that sort of community and it thrills me to see it happen. As our community grows and serves we get to watch God fulfill the vision he placed in our heart . . . Life in Christ for Every Alaskan and the World Beyond.
