Andy and Hope have two boys, Chris and Drew, who are in elementary school. Andy has a Master of Divinity degree from Denver Seminary; a Master of Business Administration from Texas A&M and a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M. 

Andy began his ministry career with Campus Crusade for Christ.  He worked 15 years in campus ministry in three locations, Colorado, Russia and Chile.

Following his career with Crusade, Andy returned to his home church in Greeley, Colo., to serve as the adult ministries pastor for a year. Then he became the senior pastor at Sierra Vista Baptist Church in Sierra Vista, Ariz., prior to becoming the singles’ pastor for Lincoln Berean Church in October 2002.  North Pointe Community Church was birthed out of Lincoln Berean Church in September of 2005.

Sitting around talking with people energizes Andy.  A good day includes lot of people contact.  However, Andy is a bit of a math geek.  He loves sudoku and “ken-ken” puzzles.  He also is an avid college football fan, with a particular passion for the University of Michigan’s team.
