I view Southern Methodist University as a local gem. With highly ranked programs, a campus described

    Unlike many pastors I had the privilege to choose my denomination rather than being born into it. I am so glad that I selected the United Methodist Church because in large part I strongly support the church’s doctrinal and theological positions on many important issues.

Attending various seminaries and through theological studies has been a great blessing for me, it will help me to be a blessing to other United Methodists church members of all ages.

    Life's a journey worth taking the unbeaten path. That is why, despite looking up to my loving parents and having the utmost respect for them, I have taken a different road than they did.
