His philosophy of the ministry is that the
minister is to be a guide and resource to the members of the
congregation. "According to the Scriptures all believers
are to share in the work of God's kingdom. Through the Great
Commission we are told to go and make disciples and teach
them to observe what God has commanded. This involves the
whole body of believers, each using his or her God-given gifts.
The minister is to be the prime example of this and is to
train and demonstrate with his preaching, teaching, and manner
of life."
