To bring the word of the Lord to the handicapped the isolated the disenfranchised, the sick, dying, incarcerated and the lonely. I am the hospice benefits coordinator and creator and Pastor of our church.

We are based in Arlington Texas 76014

To serve our Lord God, king of the universe, and keep his commandments in full glory.

If you must know, I share this because I hope it may be instructive and perhaps serve as an example to others.

I pastor a church within a senior retirement community. Many people do not realize that these facilities often serve as unofficial hospice and palliative care settings. For many families, they provide a more affordable alternative to dedicated care centers while allowing residents to receive visits from outside nurses, physicians, and other caregivers.

The residents range from active adults aged 55 and older to those receiving end-of-life care, some of whom are over 100 years old.

Most live on limited incomes. Medicare and disability benefits generally cover medical care, prescriptions, and nursing services. What remains often goes toward housing, utilities, and food. Many cannot afford additional necessities. Through our church, we help provide items such as walkers, rollators, hearing aids, clothing, and other essentials. When needed, I also contribute personally. I am not wealthy, but I do what I can.

I conduct worship services, lead Bible studies, make hospital visitations, provide counseling, and offer many other forms of ministry and support.

I do all of this without compensation, using my retirement years in service to others.

Jesus paid my debt in full long ago. I owe every blessing I have to Him. Serving these residents is one way I express my gratitude for that grace, taking up my cross daily and following His example of love and service.

My corner of the world is a little better because of it.

I offer the full liturgical marriage services with custom arrangements. I started as an officiate then moved up when I finished seminary and was ordained. We plan services with all involved including the military, protective service agencies (police, fire, etc.) and traditional civilian events with friends and family to bring a very detailed, polished and enlightened presentation of the love and charity each has for each other; their fraternities and their family, presenting it in a formal way to the Lord and to each other.

We are based in South Arlington near Collins and Cooper we travel around the Fort Worth Arlington/Dallas area. The limits are defined by you. You incur all costs for transportation.

Seminary graduate/Denver and ordained. We also provide residential and Hospital services including custom written Last rite services, Communion services and blessings and blessed oil anointings.
