Salvation Testimony

At the age of fourteen, in a lonely dark place, Jesus found me. My testimony is Ephesians 2:1-10). I repented of my sins and trusted in Christ alone for the forgiveness of my sins. On that day, everything inside my soul changed. I was born again (John 3:1-8) and became a new creation in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). Praise the Lord for His Mercy and Grace.

Call to the Ministry

Everyone who is a true believer is called to be active in ministry. As a teenager, God clearly pointed me toward serving Him within Student Ministry. During my freshman year at Mississippi College, God opened the door for me to do just that on staff as a bi-vocational student pastor at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Florence, MS. Only a few years ago did God actually allow me the the opportunity of serving Him at Cleary full time. God has called me to raise up a new generation of youth ministry that is unprecedented in our day. Youth ministry that has God sized expectations, deep spiritual accountability, and a world changing passion all for the Glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom.

Passion in Ministry

I believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is completely without error. My philosophy is to work under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and my anointed Pastor Kevin Ivy to reshape and reform the church at Cleary into an exact replica of the church in the book of Acts. Cleary is a church with one vision, one heartbeat, and one focus. All ministries, including student ministry flows naturally into the "ONE" direction. Everything is connected to bring everyone to live lives that bring the most Glory to God. We strive to share the true Gospel, to equip our people to do the work of ministry, and to go all the way to the ends of the earth with the shinning light of Jesus that lives inside of us. Students are simply part of that "ONE" goal at Cleary! We expect God sized things from all our teenagers!

I've learned in over a decade of leading student ministry that traditional youth ministry methods are far from what we find in the Bible. Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is a movement of dreamers and visionaries who have given their very lives over to Christ for His Glory. Christianity totally consumes the life of a person and yes, that includes teenagers. In the American church of today, it's rare to find these kinds of people. At Cleary, we are praying for God to fill our church with them. My goal is nothing less than leading a student ministry filled with passionate followers of the WAY. Students who are so spiritually contagious, it begins the revolution that actually impacts the world. It's not just a student ministry goal, it's our goal at Cleary!

Favorite Verse

1 Timothy 4:12

"Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity."
