“Pastor Bo”

Pastor Bo was born and raised in Oklahoma City, OK and is a veteran of the US Air Force having served in the Gulf War and the Bosnian Conflict. He was ordained into the ministry in the United Church of Christ in 2001 and has served churches in New York City and Northern and Central New Jersey before moving to Sacramento to pastor the Pioneer Congregational Church.
Although he was ordained in the United Church of Christ, his faith perspective and zeal for ministry were influenced by a variety of mainline faith traditions as well as the military chaplaincy where he served as a chapel manager. He believes that we can know God and be known by God. This is accomplished in a variety of ways–through worship, personal devotion, spiritual growth, and service to others. But rather than seeking to know God as an individual, God is made known through the relationships and journeys we share with others. When left to our devices, we tend to make God into our own image, but when we journey together, we find God is revealed in the love we share for one another.
Pastor Bo is single, lives in midtown Sacramento, enjoys singing in the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus, playing golf, Facebooking, reading, and making friends. If you have a question or would like to get acquainted with him, his email address is pastorbo@pioneerucc.org.
