Experience

1. Chaplain

   United States Air Force

   May 2023 — Present

   I serve as an active duty chaplain at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. An active duty USAF chaplain serves in three primary roles:“A pastor to some and a chaplain to all.”1. Vitalizing and pastoring the church community on base. This mission is in the vein of church-planting to cultivate a worshipping, serving community of like-minded faith and practice, to include weekly preaching, worship leading, kids and youth programs, Bible studies, relational evangelism, community outreach events). Many “base chapels” offer AWANA, youth groups, men’s and women’s Bible studies, VBS, fall festivals, and more.2. Offering confidential counseling to any airmen in need. The door opens when chaplains serve among the airmen and build relationships in their workplaces. Providing leadership advisement and professional counsel to the commanding officers on matters of ethics, morale, integrity, resiliency, and teamwork.*Deployment overseas = 24/7 on-call missionary. Based on the current tempo of operations, active duty Air Force chaplains deploy every 3-4 years for a period of 6 months +/.“So many churches are stuck in “come to” and have missed the “go to” mandate of ministry. We must be missionary, not stationary, people.” – CJ RhodesFind out the story of this new step in ministry here:
