In a world that distorts the meaning of purity, what does it truly mean to walk in purity with the Lord? PURE is a two-week series designed to help students develop a conviction and desire to honor God in every area of their lives. We’ll explore what Scripture says about purity, not just as a set of rules, but as a calling to live holy lives as image-bearers of Christ.
Through age-appropriate messages for Junior High and High School, we’ll unpack the battle between the flesh and the Spirit, the importance of self-control, and what it means to honor God with our bodies. Ultimately, this series will challenge students to reject the world’s definition of purity and embrace God’s design for their lives.
Please join us in prayer for our students, leaders, and pastors!

I studied Preaching, Youth Ministry, and the Bible at Johnson Bible College. I am currently the Campus Pastor at HBC Aurora. Married to Melissa for 7 1/2 years and we have a dog named Sadie and we love serving in students because we love their passion and servants heart for the church and the world.
I serve at the Elgin campus. I have served as the Student Pastor at Harvest for about 4 years. I am an alumnus of Moody Bible Institute and am completing my Masters of Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. Before coming to Harvest, I was a part of a church plant in the Elgin area. My wife, Faby, and I have been married for two years and live in Elgin. I am beyond blessed to be a part of this community!
I’m from Langhorne, Pennsylvania (near Philly). I graduated from Liberty in 2019 and started a 2-year pastoral residency program on staff at 12Stone Church in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta. In 2021 I started at Harvest where I now serve in ministry at the Rolling Meadows campus and also met my amazing wife Stephanie. I love helping students to pursue the Lord, teaching them to love Him more than anything else, and seeing them reach their friends for Jesus.
I am Director of Student ministry at our Crystal Lake Campus. I come from a large Romanian family that was born and raised in Chicago. I have been attending harvest since 2009 and have been on staff since 2015. I have been in both the worship and student department for the last 9 years and it has been incredible. My wife Deb and I love the opportunity the Lord has given us to pour into the next generation and to make disciples where he has uniquely planted us. Our goal as a family is to make more and better disciples in all that we do
