Q&A Videos

In the lead up to my candidating week with FUCSJ, I wanted to give the congregation an opportunity know a little more about me and my ministry. So I’ll be posting several videos, over the coming days to answer some common questions you might have.

These questions and responses are drawn from my ministerial record, which was shared with the search committee.
