Pastor Paul grew up in Wichita Falls, TX, and graduated from Midwestern State University in 2000. He received a degree in English which served him well when he started his Divinity studies at Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, OH, that same year. In 2005, Pastor Paul was called as our Associate Pastor, and in February 2011, he accepted the call to become our Lead Pastor. He has a passion for sharing God's Word in worship, making Christ known in outreach to our community, and connecting with others to discover the richness of God's community.

He loves all kinds of music -- especially jazz, alternative rock, and blues. He married his wife, Susan, in 2004. They are the proud parents of Caleb (toddler) and Joshua (infant). A Bible verse that keeps him centered in life is: "With God, all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26). We apologize, in advance, for his repeated references to the Texas Longhorns.
