Richard has been serving with the Great Commandment Network for many years. One of his ministry focuses, along with his wife, has been helping and ministering to engaged, newly married, and seasoned couples both in the church and in the community. Richard served in full-time ministry for over 25 years, and God has given he and his wife a heart to serve couples, particularly, ministry and pastor couples. Having been a pastor, he brings great insight into how the health of a ministry/pastor couple marriage impacts the health of the church. He also has taught marriage courses that are community-facing—courses taught with nonbelievers in mind. This opportunity allows he and his wife to share the hope of lasting relationships by sharing biblical truths in a nonthreatening way and watch God do what only HE can do! Richard has been married to his wife Frances for 28 years and have three adult children and three grandchildren.
