Deanna is 28 and Mark, Jr. is 25. My wife and both of my children faithfully attend the church I now pastor. I have been the pastor of First Assembly of God in Meriden, CT going on 16 years in September. Our average attendance has seen ebbs and flows through those years. We have seen people come, and we have seen them go. Our average attendance has been as as low as 80 and as high as 110.
Prior to First Assembly of God, I was the pastor of Evangel Assembly of God in Stratford, CT for 5 ½ years. We saw the same fluctuation of attendance in that ministry. Before becoming the pastor of Evangel Assembly of God, I was Assistant Pastor of Christian Assembly in Stratford, CT, which was a very small church.
Most of my peer group pastor churches that would also be considered small churches. I understand both the subject and the audience very well.
I am well-traveled having ministered in Germany, Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe, and Cuba.view less
