We attended the private school associated with this church. One subject we had in this school was religion. After I went off to college, my Dad gave me an old KJV Bible. I read this bible from Genesis to Revelation several times. After reading the bible, my values changed and my life style changed. I had a love for going to church and attending Sunday School. I also enjoyed going to different churches. Anyone that invited me to a church, I always accepted the invitation. At that time, I only wanted ties with God and not a particular denomination. After graduating from college and working with the USDA Forest Service, I married. My wife had strong ties to the church she attended. I had no preference on which church to attend, but thought it would be best for the two of us to attend the same church. The denomination that my wife grew up attending is where I became an ordained minister and pastor. After I retired from the Forest Service, my wife and I move back to our home state. I still have a zeal to preach occasionally, but I know my gift is teaching.view less
