| Hi,
I’ve been the senior pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in
Carson City since 1995. I love the ministry God has given me here. I’m
passionate about telling people about God’s amazing grace for us in
Jesus Christ. And I love that I get to do this in so many ways. Of
course there is preaching and leading worship on Sundays. Getting to
open God’s word with people is a privilege for me – whether it is in
worship or weekly Bible studies, or in the small groups of which I am a
part or counseling sessions, or conversations at the grocery store or
motorcycle shop…
Oh yes, I love to ride motorcycles and mountain
bikes. Carson City is such a great home. I love to hike in our
beautiful Nevada hills with my three dogs or go for a bike ride with my
wife Nancy or for a trail bike ride with our daughter Kate.
Ministry
for me is about connecting people with the saving and discipling grace
of Jesus Christ, so I am very open to the spontaneous ways God brings
this about. My study is the first door you’ll see when you step into
our wonderful Victorian office building. I hope YOU will stop in for a
cup of coffee and some conversation any time you are in the area. I
look forward to meeting you. |
As for my background, before I graduated
from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1985 with a Master of Divinity
degree focused
on systematic theology, I spent seven years in the
motorcycle business. I served as pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of
Hereford, Texas from 85-88 and as Associate Pastor for Youth,
College and Families at La Jolla Presbyterian Church from 88-95
Yours in Christ,
Bruce |
