Earl was born in Selma, Alabama. His dear wife, Rosie, was born in Waialua, Hawaii. By God's grace, they have been married for 50 years. God is so faithful! They have a daughter, Lani, that lives in Alabama, and they have two grandchildren. Caleb, 21, and Abby, 17. Earl attended the Univ. of Alabama for a year and graduated from Berry College in Rome, Ga. He was saved at the age of 33, and God turned his life around. He was called to the ministry and attended Reformed Theological Seminary from 1985-1988. Earl and Rosie served with Mission to the World in the Hinterland Ministry, mainly among the Quechuas, for twenty years in Peru and Bolivia, which he considers to be such a blessing!
Earl served as assistant pastor at Trinity PCA in Jackson from 1999-2003, and again from 2013 until being honorably retired on July 1, 2020. Since that time, the Lord has graciously given Earl many ongoing opportunities to preach the Word every Sunday morning at churches that need pulpit supply. This continues to be a joy and privilege! Earl started on May 1, 2022 as a part-time staff assistant to Carl Kalberkamp in pastoral visitation to mainly the senior members at POPC. This too is a blessing from the Lord! Earl loves to read, spend time with Rosie, and fellowship with friends. He likes to go to Amerigo with Rosie and others from time to time. Earl's favorite sport team is the University of Alabama Crimson Tide.
Getting to know more of the saints at POPC is his favorite part of this position at POPC.
