On Monday, the Board of Ordained Ministry of the Kansas West Annual Conference recommended me for ordination and full membership.

I have been working to complete my paperwork for ordination and full membership as an elder in the Kansas West Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. I realized that this vast body of theological thought is going to waste after it is being turned in. It would be a great gift to the church […]
