Pastor Keith’s spiritual gifts are Pastor-Teacher, Leadership and Encouragement. He has a passion for seeing the Gospel presented in a culturally relevant style without compromising its truth. He also believes that one of the keys to an effective church is keeping a balance between evangelism and discipleship. Because of this belief, he has been a strong supporter of the small group ministry at Greater Gresham. Under his leadership the church has grown from an average attendance of 170 to over 600 in weekend services.
