Pastor Rod has served in ministry for more than 25 years, leading congregations in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas before joining Faith Journey Church in July 2015. His call to ministry began early, preaching his first message at just 15 years old. He became the pastor of his first church at 22. Since then, his passion has remained the same: to help people experience the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Rod’s ministry can be summed up in one word: Connect. He is committed to creating an environment where people connect with God through meaningful worship, prayer, and biblical preaching. He values authentic relationships within the church and strives to connect with the surrounding community by demonstrating the unconditional love of Christ in practical, tangible ways. As he often says, “We want church to be a place you want to go, not just a place you have to be.”
Pastor Rod is married to Tammy, his partner in life and ministry. They are the proud parents of Hannah and Joel, both now adults with families and lives of their own. Though their seasons of life have taken them in different directions, Pastor Rod cherishes every opportunity they have to join him in ministry.
