About

My name’s Andy and I am the Director of Outreach at Central Reformed Church in Oskaloosa, IA. I spend most of my time meeting new people, getting involved in the community, and helping to make Central a place where people can come and not only discover God for the first time, but also come to have a growing and eternal relationship with Him. Before coming to Central a ran a little youth ministry called BLAST in Hingham, WI that God so lovingly built, grew, and nourished for 5 years. According to pieces of paper on my wall I graduated from Sioux City East High School, Simpson College, Princeton Seminary, and sorta kinda in my seldom available free moments am working on a doctorate in Evangelism and Church Growth. I’m married to the amazing Andrea and, as of this writing, have two awesome and healthy kids (although, with the two year old boy the current accuracy of that statement is in constant flux). I hope this page can be a place where you can here about what’s happening at Central, what I’m up to, and maybe even pick up some ideas about evangelism, community involvement, wrestling, the perfect goodness of Cornhusker football, and my lifelong sadness I bear as a Chicago Cubs fan.
