About Wayne
I have been a pastor since 1967
and have spent most of that time pastoring and doing counseling
in Alaskan towns such as Homer, Seward, Anchorage, Fairbanks,
and now Nikiski.
I also founded Cornerstone Christian
Center in the Washington, DC suburb of Springfield, VA.
I am married, have three children, seven grand children and one
great grandchild.
My wife, Marveen is a certified
elementary teacher in Alaska and Colorado and is retired from
the State of Alaska where she worked as a legislative aide or
chief of staff for several Alaskan representatives and senators.
We LOVE to collect books, take care of a small army of backyard
critters (birds and squirrels) and regularly fish together
on the Kenai or Talkeetna Rivers for salmon.
I am a member of the National
Association for Christian Recovery. I also have experience
working in a clinical setting and conducted group's in the mental
health unit at Providence Hospital in Anchorage as a part of the
New Life Clinic's in-patient program in the late 90's. I
am also listed on the data base with the state of Colorado as
a non-licensed psychotherapist and am a member of the Colorado
Asssociation of Psyhotherapists.
I hold masters degrees in both
Theology (MTS) and Counseling (MC) from Cornerstone Graduate School
in Fairfax, VA.
