About Countryside Covenant Church
Who We Are:
We are a Christ-centered Church that is Growing in the Grace and the Truth of Our Lord Jesus Christ as we encounter God through His word and worship, strengthen families through intentional relationships, build disciples by investing in others and serve together with our spiritual gifts.
What We Believe:
We belong to the Evangelical Covenant Church which traces its origins to a spiritual revival that took place during the last century. Our tradition reflects the Reformation, stressing worship, prayer, teaching and studying of the Scriptures, conversion, and outreach to our local and worldwide community. For Covenant people, our essential beliefs are summed up in what we call Covenant Affirmations:
We affirm the necessity of the new birth. For us, faith is more than knowledge about something. It is a vital relationship with Jesus.
We affirm the centrality of the word of God. The Bible is the sole authority in the church. Biblical preaching, Bible studies and Bible classes abound.
We affirm the Church as a fellowship of believers. As a child of God, you belong to His family and to ours. Relationships are one of the best places to live out our Christian faith.
We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ. We live the way we do out of love for Christ. We respect the freedom to differ in many areas not essential to our salvation.
We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit. It is God’s Holy Spirit who is the agent of our new life in Jesus Christ.
We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the Church. The task of missions, both home and abroad, is an important expression of a commitment to serving our Lord.

Leader Bio:
I have been serving as Lead Pastor at Countryside Covenant Church since 2006! Lynn and I celebrated our 30th anniversary this past year and have three grown children through our marriage, Micah (and his wife Jordan), Molly and Mattea.
Prior to coming to McPherson, I served as a pastor to students for 19 years in Lafayette, Indiana and Salina, Kansas. I am fortunate to be married to a woman who is called and gifted for ministry. She serves with me on our staff team as the Director of Adult Christian Formation and the Director for Crescendo (our 55+ adults).
Vision for Position: I love the fact that our church is known as a grace-filled church. We have seen many find a place of healing, belonging and purpose at this church. We are all in need of God's grace and are called to be dispensers of His grace to others. With that in mind, it is my vision to see every believer utilize their spiritual gift(s) for the purpose of encouraging and building up others in the Body of Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote:
“It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith." - Ephesians 4:11-13.
Hobbies and Interests: I like playing tennis and pickleball with friends in our community. And I love spending extended time with Lynn on our days off. We have been known to take day trips to see our children or to visit various small towns to explore their unique attractions (i.e. museums, restaurants, shopping and, of course, historical sites such as the largest ball of twine.)
Spiritual Gifts: My primary gifts are all linked to my calling: Pastor/teacher, wisdom, encouragement and evangelism.
Favorites: I've got a sweet tooth ... which explains my need for regular exercise. I am fond of pizza, cheeseburgers and Buffalo wings (medium and barbecue). I am an avid sports fan and love reading biographies. Finally, I love Jesus, my family, my church family and our gifted church staff. I am a very blessed man.

May your light illuminate our hearts
Eternal God, this holy night is radiant with the brilliance of your one true light. May that light illuminate our hearts and shine in our words and deeds. May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love represented by the birth in Bethlehem this night fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do. May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ, even as he humbled himself to share our humanity. Amen.
