After school, he went into career ministry as a youth pastor in the western suburbs of Chicago. As youth pastor, he led missions trips, Canadian boundary waters canoe trips, and many camping trips. He remained ministered at that church for 14 years. In 1989, was called to serve as a Co-pastor at a church outside Atlanta. In 1995, started Mountain East Community Church (MECC).
