About

Hey there I wanted to tell you a little about myself. So here goes!

Right off the bat I want you to know that I am married to a wonder gal,Lisa Combs we were married May 26, 1979. Lisa serves as the Program Director and Worship Leader of Jubilee Worship Center.

Together we have two children, Dalisha and Dale. Dalisha was wed on August 23, 2003 to Nathan Otero and resides in Hobart, Indiana. Nathan and Dalisha have twp sons, Micah and Gabrien. My son Dale recently married, Shannon in October and have been honeymooning ever since.

I was born November 27, 1959 in Great Yarmouth, England, the oldest of 5 boys while his father was stationed there serving in the United States Air Force. His wife Lisa is a native of Northwest Indiana and has lived in this area most of her life.

I come from a long line of ministers dating back to my great grandfather, who was a traveling preacher in Kentucky when the Pentecostal movement began. my grandfather was a minister. His brother James, my great uncle, served as Pastor in West Indianapolis Indiana Church of God. At one time, his church was the largest Church of God in Indiana. My other uncle, Dan Combs is a retired Church of God minister. My  father served as a pastor in Michigan, New York, Indiana, Florida, and Arizona until he retired in Florida several years ago.

I finally received my degree from Liberty University in Lynchburg VA. Graduating with a B.S in Religion and earned the honorable distinction of Magna Cume Laude. I am  presently working on his Master’s in Religion with an emphasis on Leadership and will graduate the Spring of 2011.

I have served the Church of God denomination as District Youth Leader in the early 1980′s. I have served on the State Evangelism Board for one term, the Examining Board for one term, served as Leader of the Mentoring Group for the Northern District, and served three terms on the Indiana Church of God State Council.

MY wife and I have served the Church of God in various capacities:

One of my greatest loves is actively serving the men and women of the Law Enforcement Community:

I am a graduate of the Porter County Reserve Academy, Valparaiso University Valparaiso Indiana, Top 10 in the class.

When I first came to Jubilee Worship Center, the congregation attendance was approximately 45 to 50 people. Today, our average attendance is over 300. In 2003, under our leadership we relocated our congregation and constructed a beautiful 30,000 sqf.building. The Building sits on approximately 9 acres and today has a value of over 3 million dollars. It was constructed with the assistance of men in the congregation at a cost of 1.75 million dollars.

I love my church and the congregation at Jubilee Worship Center. it is an exciting place to worship and I believe we are one of the most enthusiastic ministries in our denomination and in the wonderful City of Hobart.
