While pursuing his MDiv at Grace Theological Seminary, Paul became convinced of the NT model of plurality of elder leadership (without a designated senior pastor position). The elders at Bethany Bible Chapel influenced Paul greatly, especially Abraham Thomas whom the Lord has used in a significant church planting role in southern India. After seminary, Paul entered the business world to allow for spiritual maturing while using his preaching and teaching gifts. For many years www.BibleOutlines.com has been a source of free pdf Bible commentaries from Paul’s ministry. Currently Paul is serving with two other elders in a young church in the Columbia MD area. Their family has been involved in leadership in local homeschooling and sports ministries as they raised their four children. | more | less
