Church Experience
His Christian experience began being raised in a home with a mother who was a practicing Catholic and a father who was a practicing Methodist. This has given him a foundation to interface with a broad spectrum of Christian denominations. As an adult, he and his late wife, Carla, have been practicing members of the United Church of Christ, Assemblies of God and Wesleyan denominations; and he is currently attending an independent Charismatic church. He has studied the entire Bible from 1982 to 1985 and has served as a Deacon, Elder, Lay Preacher and Bible Study and Sunday School teacher. He has also served as a speaker, workshop facilitator and board member of a Christian School. He also served as the Celebrate Recovery Administrator at Christ Wesleyan Church in Milton, PA from 2013-2014. He is also a former member of the American Association of Christian Counselors and did a poster presentation at their 2013 World Conference on Chapter 4 of Volume II.
