Sonny is the product of the 70’s Jesus Revival It was an exciting time, a hotbed for the seeds of true religion, a testing ground for enduring faith, a refining furnace for believer’s mettle! The movement, so popular among young people, forged some of the greatest Christian minds and disciples of the century, and Sonny was right there as one of them!

From your first meeting you know he’s “been with the Lord” and that he’s one of those “follow me as I follow Jesus” types that comes along only once in a great while! You can tell from his convictions that his beliefs were formed in countless hours of refining study and debate....

Sonny has answers for life and is not stingy to share them! And he’s one of those precious guys who, if he doesn’t know the answer to something, will tell you so, and then leave determined to find it for you! He is a man on a mission for the Lord, intent on being pleasing to Him and being helpful to the people he is called to serve!

Nowhere does the weight of his character show more than in his writings! He’s the author of Endtimes— Putting the Pieces in Place, and Mormonism: Does it Pass God’s Three Question Test for Truth? The first is a classic piece of End Times literature studied by many. And his argument against the cult activity of the Mormon Church has never been successfully refuted.

Sonny wears many hats here at the church; everything from pastor, teacher, and counselor to IT, maintenance man, and mechanic… he willingly embraces “whatever has to be done!” He is also the heart and backbone of our adult education department and primary force behind our presentation of the Truth Project.

Sonny loves all types of music—that are done well, photography—especially when he’s snapping the shutter in some exotic place, and graphic design—at which he really rocks! Completing Sonny’s successful life is that he’s married to a wonderful lady, Judy, and they live in Angleton together with a “remarkable” cat!
