Greg
is happily married to his wife Dionne, and they have three sons
between the ages of 5-14. They founded Covenant LIFE Fellowship in
February of 2006, and are also the founders of CrossView Christian
Camp (2000), located near Dickens, Texas, which ministers to
children and youth. They have been blessed to be in full-time ministry
together for more than
eighteen years!
Greg is a passionate
leader who sincerely wants to see people Evangelized for Christ;
Equipped for ministry; and Encouraged / Empowered in their personal
relationship with Jesus Christ. During the past twenty years, Greg has
served as an evangelist, teacher, children's pastor, youth
pastor, spiritual counselor, and camp director. He fervently believes young
people are key in the church, and should not be ignored. Instead, he
believes young people should be encouraged to become ALL God has
planned for them to become, taking on responsibility as ministers, as
they are equipped, and discover their spiritual gifts. Greg exhorts
all Christ followers to seek Jesus with their whole heart. While
some pastors seek to build an unhealthy dependence between
themselves and the church, Greg exhorts the church to take
responsibility for spiritual growth. According to his interpretation
of scripture, everyone has equal access to the throne of God through
Jesus Christ the Son! Greg is not defined by the titles he
holds...he is defined by the unconditional love of Jesus, and wants
others to discover this powerful revelation for themselves.
Hobbies:
Dirt bike riding with his family, golf, camping & hunting,
volleyball, and football with his sons.

you! May you be blessed with God's BEST!

Friend In Jesus,

How to Receive Jesus
If you would like to welcome Jesus Christ into your life, you can
do so at any time, anywhere. Consider these important facts:
God loves you and seeks a personal relationship with
you!
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice
and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and
he with Me. Revelation 3:20
The problem is—everyone has been born into this
World spiritually dead because of sin.
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal
life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23
The answer is—Jesus will forgive us of all sin,
assuring us of eternity in Heaven! If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:9
To receive Jesus, you can pray in this manner:
Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. Please come into my life and forgive
me of all sin. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the
dead. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and guide me from this day
forward. Thank You, Lord! In Jesus' Name...Amen.
If you just prayed this prayer, we rejoice and so do all the
angels in Heaven (Luke 15:10). We would like to welcome you as a new
member of the family of God. Please email me at greg@covenantlifeway.com
so that we can help you get started with your life in Christ.
Here are a few steps that will help you grow in your new found
faith:
Pray every day
Praying is not a religious tradition or formula, it’s just
talking to God as you would your best friend. He’s concerned
about every detail in your life and wants you to get to know
Him. If you would like someone to pray with you, please call us
@ 806-771-4244.
Read the Bible every day
It’s vitally important to read God’s Word (the Holy Bible)
daily, if possible. If you don’t have a Bible, you can get one
at our facility on any Wednesday or Sunday! FREE!
Get involved in a local church fellowship
It’s important that believers develop a healthy and fulfilling
life in Christ and His Church. All of us need help to navigate
the stresses and pressures of life. God never intended us to do
it alone. He’s provided everything we need to live
victoriously—including His Word, Spirit, power and family.
That’s why being a part of a local assembly is so important.
We invite you to Covenant LIFE Fellowship @ 3113-34th street in
Lubbock, Texas. However, if you find another Bible believing
fellowship closer to your location, attend there! The most
important thing is attending a Spirit led fellowship
somewhere...it doesn't have to be here.
Get water baptized Water baptism is a commandment (requirement) for anyone who
has turned from their sins, and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior. (Matthew 28:19 - "Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit.") In Romans 6:3-11 you can read of
the symbolism of water baptism, and your new life in Jesus. We
conduct water baptisms monthly, and on request. Let us know, and
we'll schedule a class and baptism for you.
