He was a member of the Findlay Upper Room COG in Findlay, OH, where he served in many areas that included Men’s Fellowship Leader, Pastor’s Council, and as a Construction Project Manager, building an addition and renovating the church. He went on to Pastor the Lima Upper Room COG Inner City Mission Church for seven years, where he ministered to the congregation, as well as the homeless and hungry.
