We left California three years ago (2022) and I've enjoyed the people, the pace, and the places here in East Tennessee immensely. Of course, we all miss family when we leave one place for another, but we also found it difficult to find a good church fit. After searching for and attending and serving at good churches here, we didn't find exactly what we were looking for, so we're now building a church family from the ground up.
I've been part of planting churches before and it is great to be part of new ministry. As a pastor for over 40 years, I love teaching the Bible simply; line-by-line and verse-by-verse. I enjoy simple worship, beloved hymns, and simple choruses focusing on Biblical doctrine. God's Word and joyful worship... that is how we are building "New Song Fellowship".
