Following military service, he was formerly a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota; Redwood City and San Mateo, California, and Longmont, Colorado.[2] From 1968 to 1970, he studied at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas; from 1972 to 1974, at Hyles-Anderson College,[3] which is operated by the First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, a large Independent Baptist congregation.

On May 31, 1992, the church was formally organized with thirty-eight charter members.
