Since we began I ve pastored seven different churches as an Intentional Interim pastor. That s an opportunity I never would have had if she hadn t become a chaplain.

We recognize that serving in the Army as a committed that those of us who are married do best with the support, encouragement, prayers, and participation of our spouse.
