I want to welcome you to my site. For a brief introduction, please click on the audio player below or click on the Welcome tab above. I hope this site is useful to you in acquainting yourself to who I am, as you seek God’s lead in the staffing of your church.

Teaching & Preaching

I have a great love for sharing the truths of Scripture, and take great joy in witnessing people come to realize the power of God’s Word, and allowing it to invade every area of their life.

I have a number of recorded messages that can be heard either here or via my podcast.

Listen now to Conspiracy of Grace, a message based on John 4, preached on November 5, 2009, at Rock Harbor Church.

Heart For Missions

Jesus’ command found in Matthew 28:19-20, calling the Church to go and make disciples of all nations is one that I take very seriously.

Foreign Missions

I have led 10 teams into Mexico to serve and share with the wonderful people of that country.

Local Missions

Believing that missions is more than crossing oceans and borders, I have also led localized mission trips to help students realize and meet the needs right in their own communities.

Investing In Leaders

Ephesians 4:11-12 sums up one of the most important components of my ministry, that being investing in leaders.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.

Here is a teaching video I put together for Tim Schmoyer’s site Life in Student Ministry on the importance of investing in leaders.

Hear more of my thoughts on investing in leaders on Tim Schmoyer’s LIVE YM Talk. On this particular episode I had the privilege of leading a discussion with youth workers from around the country on the importance of building a youth ministry team.

On the program we covered topics like:

Why building a team is so important
Ideas for promoting unity, training, and working with their schedules
Good and bad reasons why someone might serve
Answered questions from the chat audience

You may listen to the discussion here.

My Family

Second only to serving the Lord, my greatest joy in life is my family. I am blessed with a loving family that is committed to one another and committed to following Christ.

My wife Robin and I have been married for just over 11 years and we would both say they have been the best 11 years of our lives.

Brittnie my 19 year old daughter is beautiful on both the outside and in. She loves God and loves people. Her heart of compassion for others is her greatest quality.

Benjamin, or Benny as we like to call him, is a 5 year old on the go! The best word to describe him is energy! He is an active little guy with an unmatched zeal for life!

I invite you to visit our family blog for a closer look at life in the Eberly family.
