Pastor Pat and Cindy

In the spring of 1973 I gave my life to Jesus Christ as a college football player at the University of Arizona. Upon graduating from college, I, out of gratitude to the Lord, decided to give a year’s service as Tucson’s first-ever staff person for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

I also began attending a local church, Christ Community Church, where I began serving as their youth pastor.  During this time, the Lord introduced me to my soon-to-be bride, Cindy, and blessed us with three children, Matthew, Mark, and Kaitlin.

After seven faithful years of service, I sensed a need for more biblical training and took sabbatical leave over two summers to pursue a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies  at Dallas Theological Seminary.  At the conclusion of the second summer, I received a call from Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock to consider becoming their youth pastor. In 1983 I moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, and served as youth pastor at Little Rock Fellowship Bible Church for an additional five years.  In 1989, I sensed God calling me back to Tucson to plant a church from scratch, and, in April of 1989, with the endorsement of  both Fellowship Bible Church in LIttle Rock and  Christ Community Church in Tucson,

I came back to my home in the desert and planted Tucson Fellowship Bible Church. I have served faithfully at Tucson FBC since its inception, and in the last 16 years have seen the Lord bless His name, and began to use the church as a tool to “get His light out” to the city of Tucson. I count it as a tremendous blessing and awesome responsibility to serve the Lord as the church’s lead pastor alongside two other growing pastors, a selfless ministry staff, a unified elder board,  and a wonderful, faithful  congregation.
