All My Denominations .....

Thinking about my theological heritage and belief formation in recent days and I’ve remembered I have a unique perspective. While in college I became director of a local Youth for Christ chapter primarily running Campus Life Clubs in three high schools and two middle schools. From that ministry I gained an appreciation for Christians of several denominations.

I grew up Baptist but have been influenced by pastors and leaders who are Methodist, Presbyterian and Assembly of God. While with YFC, I also served at a Congregational Methodist church as student minister. While in Seminary at NOBTS, I served as student minister at a Presbyterian Church in Midtown New Orleans.

The doctrinal positions of these denominations have led me to this conclusion ….. I am predestined to lose my priesthood of the believer status.
