Glen was blessed greatly to grow up in a Christian home in Southern California with loving and supportive parents. It was in high school that Glen first sensed a call to full-time vocational ministry as he was considering how to invest his life. This “calling” was nurtured and strengthened through key spiritual mentors and practical ministry experiences. Glen earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications with a minor in Biblical Studies from the Master's College in Santa Clarita, CA. He met his wife, Nancie, in 1988 and they were married in 1990 after both graduating from the Master's College. Glen and Nancie have been blessed with three wonderful children: Jonathan (13), Janea (11) and Jacob (9).
It is Glen’s privilege to currently serve as the pastor-teacher of Community Bible Church in Sunriver, Oregon, which is dedicated to quality Bible teaching and outreach to children and families. Glen has also served as a chaplain of a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, Student Ministries Director at Crossroads Bible Church in Bellevue, WA, and as an associate pastor at East Bay Calvary Church in Traverse City, MI. Glen centers his life around the truths found in Galatians 2:20 & 2 Corinthians 4:5; finding the greatest fulfillment in carrying out the call of God on his life, investing the local church (which he sees as God’s instrument to reach the world), and seeing people individually become more devoted followers of Christ. He gives all the credit to His Lord and Savior in using him to accomplish these goals. In his spare time, Glen enjoys photography, reading and outdoor activities like skiing & biking.
