OUR STORY
During my last term of serving in the military in 2014, God was calling me to fulfill what he chose me to do from an early age. When I found teaching to be my passion and helping others learn information they may or may not have known, my heart grew for the passion of God to reach and teach the masses that where lost and needed some sense of direction in their lives.
Me and my wife Andrea have been married for 10 years now and growing stronger every day. A Seattle native, Andrea has always had the heart for rejected, loving people and loving the way God wants us to love.
Through my years of being with her, I have seen God help transform me into a better husband. We live our lives knowing that God created marriage to be a union, a covenant and a show on display of what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
My wife loves to serve the community with and through her dental experience. Leading alongside with me as Pastor also, she has been ministering in the marketplace at her place of work and whenever she comes into contact with others.
THE NAME: EMINENT CHURCH
We believe even today people are longing for a kingdom, a place of goodness, justice, peace, joy, security, and more. The one promised in Scripture fits the bill, but the problem is, people want the kingdom without the king.
The truth is the kingdom is only good because of the king. What we yearn for in our hearts is not a place, but a person. What people need is not heaven, but Jesus. The apostle Paul writes about this on a eternal scale when he says,
‘…for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth… all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things… And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. ‘ Colossians 1:16-18.
Jesus Christ should be preeminent over all things in our lives because he is the source of our salvation and the embodiment of God’s love and grace. This verse emphasizes Jesus’ central role in our lives and underscores the importance of prioritizing him above all else.
