Shepherds and Leaders at PCC

Picture
As pastor of PCC, I like being a gardener.  I know pastors are usually thought of as shepherds or teachers.  If we're honest with ourselves, all we do is till and tend the soil and see what God grows.   Our's is a smallish church called together by God to be multi-generational, multi-economic, multi-ethnic, multi-racial, yet called to be one in Christ.  Our's is a garden with many different kinds of plantings that God is growing into a wonderfully diverse cultivation.

I've served churches and para-church ministries in Connecticut for over 30 years.  For six years I served as CCCC Area Representative for Southern New England.  I also have a long-standing commitment to discipling individuals and mentoring pastors.   As you can imagine, I don't spend a lot of time sitting in an office.  You'll often find me at a diner or coffee shop challenging people to walk with Jesus.

I came to know Christ personally while studying at the University of Connecticut.  I grew up in church.  My Mom was the church secretary and my Dad's family founded the church in Greenwich, CT in 1665.  One of my great-grandfathers was the first native-born Protestant pastor in Armenia; so 'church' was in my blood.  But faith in Christ wasn't a personal experience for me until I was a sophomore in college and I heard a man on the radio say, "God demonstrates his love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).  That's when I said, "Hey!  He's talking about me."  That's when I asked Christ to be Lord of my life.
