    • The Intersection Church

      Jan 1996 - Jan 2007
      Staff Pastor

      While on staff at The Intersection (formerly Valley Open Bible) I developed and gave oversight to the recovery ministries, which included "Celebrate Recovery" and "Pursuing the Hidden Heart". The recovery ministries provided one on one counseling, classes, recovery groups, and personal and spiritual growth groups. The Intersection is also home to a marvelous childcare center, which I was privileged to manage for 7 years. If you're looking for a terrific place for your kids while you're at work try "A Heart for the Home" childcare, (509)922-2177, 905 N McDonald Rd in the Valley. Show less
