He has served as the Chairman of the “Tell the Good News About Jesus Committee” for the Minnesota North District from 2002 to 2004. He has served on the Board of Directors for Lutheran Island Camp since 2003, located near Henning Minnesota on a Island in East Battle Lake. He is a member of the Program Committee and is working with the Bd of Directors and LIC leadership to begin a Creation Science Environmental Learning Center, where youth, adults, Lutheran teachers and pastors will study creational topics and be equipped to teach creation from the Bible.

He also has served as the pastoral advisor for the Fergus Falls Chapter of Lutherans For Life, from 1986 to 1993 and was its founder. He also helped start and advised the Grand Rapids Area Lutherans for Life, which began its work in 2002.

He speaks and teaches on a wide range of topics including Angels, Marriage and Family, Abortion, The New Age Movement, Pastor Elder Ministry, Male Headship in the family and the Church, Feminism, Satanism, Islam, Defense of the Bible, and Secular Humanism. He has written a New Member Adult Class revolving around the first 11 chapters of Genesis entitled Spring Board to Life. He has conducted workshops and trained people in evangelism and witnessing.

He speaks and teaches on other subjects including Worldviews, Homosexuality, Creation, the Order of Creation and many books of the bible especially Genesis, Daniel, and Revelation. He has conducted annual retreats for pastors and elders. He led the Lake of the Woods retreat, a Ministry sponsored by the Board of Elders of First Lutheran Grand Rapids, Minnesota. He also leads confirmation retreats for his congregation.

He is strongly committed to being Confessionally Lutheran, and is committed to upholding the inerrancy and infallibility of the Bible. He believes with St. Paul that we must in all we teach and proclaim point people to Christ for their salvation making clear the gospel as the means of grace to achieve this work. He believes in strong catechesis for both youth and adults. He believes in biblical absolute truth and moral absolutes. He believes that worldview education is a key component for believers to be equipped to discern truth from error and readied to engage the world with both Law and Gospel.

He also believes that the teaching church is the church that will grow strong in the Lord as people grow in their knowledge and confidence that the Bible is in all its parts the very Word of God and thus readied to be a growing church. Further, he believes that in an increasingly secular and pagan world, we must evangelize using St. Paul’s methods as outlined in Act 17: 22 ff.
