Pat is originally from Omaha and is a graduate of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. It was during his time at UNL that Pat was converted and became a Christian. After earning his Masters degree from The Master's Seminary in Southern California and serving in two college pastorates, Pat came to Omaha Bible Church as Senior Pastor in 1998. Pat and his wife Molly met at UNL and were married in 1991. They have five children.

Beyond his dynamic expository preaching ministry at Omaha Bible Church, the Lord has seen fit to use Pat through the radio ministry of Truth Matters, seminary lecturing, and speaking at various conferences in the U.S. and abroad. Pat is also the author of "The Truth About Water Baptism."

The motivating factor in Pat's life is: "To glorify Christ by proclaiming His most precious truth. I live for it!"

If you see Pat away from a pulpit, it will likely be on a wakeboard. He and his family are heavily involved in the sport and are passionate about it. For relaxation Pat enjoys riding his Harley Davidson or reading (but not at the same time!).

Pat is currently enrolled in the Doctorate of Ministry program at the Ligonier Academy of Biblical and Theological Studies.

Many of Pat's sermons are available to be heard online.  You may also enjoy subscribing to the OBC podcast at iTunes.
