Paul was born and raised in a Chicago suburb and later moved with his family to Iowa for his high school years. As a teenager, he searched earnestly for life’s meaning and, at age nineteen, came to a life-changing faith in Jesus Christ. Soon after, while leading in a university campus ministry, Paul sensed God’s call to lifelong Gospel ministry. He went on to earn theological degrees, received ordination, and served as a pastor for thirty-seven years.
Paul and his wife, Bev, married in 1975 and God blessed them with two children and four grandchildren. Together, they ministered eight years in North Dakota and twenty-eight years in Tampa, Florida, before vocationally retiring to Boca Raton in 2016.
At Boca Raton Community Church, Paul leads the Men’s Study and Fellowship Group, and he and Bev train and coach couples in marriage preparation and enrichment. Paul considers it a sacred privilege to serve as an elder and to shepherd our congregation alongside a wonderful team of leaders.
