My Path to Gateway Church of the Nazarene:  In the fifth month of the second of two different interim pastorates here the church board nominated me to be the pastor.  Two days later in January 2006 the devastating fire destroyed our worship center.  I sensed that God would have me accept this assignment and be instrumental  in the rebuilding of this great church’s ministry and campus.
