Christian History
This is my 40th year as a Christian. I have been attending Bethlehem Baptist since 1996. I love being involved in church life and always looking for ways to be of service. I have been an Elder at BBC since 2001 and was previously on the Church Board as a Deacon. I also run a Life Group at our home in Bethlehem.
Bethlehem Baptist Involvement
Being an Elder of BBC is a privilege for which I give thanks to God. I take great delight in the way in which God has entrusted us with the number of people coming for fellowship, teaching and living out their calling in a community of faith. I, alongside the other Elders, recognize that with this blessing is an enormous responsibility to be found continually worthy of being His servant and steward.
Family
My wife, Liz, and I have 3 adult girls, Vanessa, Olivia, and Samantha who all live away from Tauranga, but have been part of BBC during their childhoods.
Employment
I am a Chartered Accountant by training and run Karaka Pines Villages, developing retirement villages throughout NZ.
