I started my walk with God when I was 8 years old. I received my upbringing at Faith Hill Church of God, Fairborn, Ohio. In 1994 I began working with the youth at Jamestown IPCC. During my 6 year tenure, i received informal training in preaching and teaching of the gospel. In 1999, God called me into the ministry. I received my ordination through Faith Hill Church of God and licensed in the state of Ohio. In a renovated house, in 2000 we held our first service as New Life. In November of 2008, we moved into our current place of worship for the New Life family. I have been serving as pastor for 23 years along with my wife Laura.

Bob was saved March 5, 1970, in Xenia, Ohio. Bob was called to ministry in 1979 and was ordained in 1981 at Faith Hill Church of God. Bob and his wife Diana have been married for over 46 years and has been the associate pastor at New Life since 2005. Pastor Bob continues to lead and love the church family. He has never lost his hunger for seeing people give their heart to the Lord.
