r Andrew was raised in Papillion, Nebraska, and has attended Midlands for most of his life. In December of 2007, through the ministry of Midlands, he came to trust in Christ as his Saviour. It has been his desire to serve the Lord in ministry since that time.
Shortly after his salvation, the Lord led Pastor Andrew to Heartland Baptist Bible College in Oklahoma City, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies.

The pastoral transition took place on June 2, 2019 and God has continued to move the church forward under Pastor Andrew’s leadership.
