about me

IMPORTANT UPDATE: We returned from serving 2 years in Hungary in 2021 – and you can read more about our time there at: https://andersonfamily6.wordpress.com/

I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in 2003 with a BA in Youth Ministry, and have been active in ministry ever since. I was ordained in the Free Methodist Church in June 2009. I then graduated with my Master of Divinity from Wesley Seminary in 2018. I now serve full-time pastorally at the Mattis Avenue Free Methodist Church, in Champaign, IL.

Born and raised a Michigander, I now find myself at home wherever our family serves the Kingdom together. My wife and I have four daughters, who are growing fast! I can roast a batch of green coffee beans in half hour using a wok, and I’ve won the bonus round on Wheel of Fortune. I love to speak to groups, both large and small; and I’m not afraid to be on stage. But I’m humbled daily at how much God uses my children to help me grow, and how much more growing I have left ahead of me.
