Andy came to faith in Christ at the age of nine, and that early encounter with the Lord laid the foundation for a life of devotion and service. Though his salvation came early, his call to vocational ministry did not come until the age of 44, a reminder that God's timing is always purposeful and that He is faithful to complete what He begins in us.
In obedience to that call, Andy pursued theological education at Liberty University, where he graduated with High Honors, earning a Master of Divinity in Christian Apologetics. His training has equipped him with a deep love for Scripture, a commitment to sound doctrine, and a passion for helping others understand and defend the Christian faith.
Andy has been married to his wife, Kim, for over 23 years, and together they are raising two children. Their son is currently attending Wichita State University, and their daughter is in the fourth grade. Family is central to Andy's life and ministry, and his experience as a husband and father informs the way he shepherds others through the joys and challenges of everyday life.
Having grown up in Woodloch, Andy has deep roots in the community surrounding the church. He knows the people, the culture, and the needs of this area in a way that only comes from a lifetime of connection. That familiarity, combined with his pastoral calling and theological training, allows him to serve with both knowledge and genuine care for the people God has placed around him.
