Chuck is a pastor in Virginia. After ten years in the secular workplace following college, our
family moved to Ft. Worth, Texas for four years at Southwestern Baptist Theological
Seminary. Chuck's been in vocational ministry for over twenty-one years now- three as an
associate pastor working with youth and young adults, and the remainder as a pastor.
Recently, after over twenty years in full-time vocational ministry, he served a little over a year
as a bi-vocational pastor to help start a new church in a rural community in central Virginia.
passion is in preaching and teaching, and more recently in the areas of church renewal and
revival. You can view his basic faith statement here.
Lari’s started a new job as Membership Coordinator for a large commercial real estate
association in Herndon, Va. We're parents of two grown children and grandparents of two
grandsons. Chuck likes kayaking and camping; Lari also likes kayaking and camping-
except for the kayaks and the camps, for which she likes to substitute shopping malls and
hotels!
God's been really good to us over the years. He's blessed us with a strong marriage of over
thirty-six years (can we be that old already?!) which has endured its fair share of ups and
downs. He's blessed us with two wonderful children who've always made us proud, even
more so as they've matured into responsible adults. He's blessed us with a daughter-in-law
and son-in-law who are wonderful individuals who love and care about their spouses. And
just recently He's blessed us with two grandsons who have added a new joy to our lives- a
joy we didn't know existed, but one which we welcome more than we ever could have
imagined.
