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.
In March 2009 he started a new pastorate in northern Virginia- Faith Bible Church. His
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 served for nearly fifteen years as Member Services Director at a non-profit association
in northern Virginia before she was downsized just recently. 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 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.
