What Genesis Means To You

For one of the first times I can say I am exactly where God wants me to be. That is not an easy place to be sometimes, but it is pretty cool most of the time.

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Where You Grew Up and What You Did As A Kid

I grew up in the inner city of St. Louis. We called ourselves “The River Rats,” because we lived on the south side very close to the river. We played a lot of sandlot football. When I went to Roosevelt High School freshman year and tried out for football, I was all messed up on the rules. I thought two completions was a first down.

Hope For Genesis

To be a place where God is centered in all we are. To make Eureka a better place because Genesis is living the Gospel there. To be a people of peace, giving, and love. To be a place that is called into action when people are in trouble.
