Pastor Karl has a passion to see junior high students in the East Valley grab a hold of an amazing relationship and faith in Christ.  He has been working in Junior High ministry for ten years as a leader and recently as a pastor.  In 1999 he moved from Illinois to Arizona to become a part of Desert Springs School of Ministry.
Through music, video and other creative avenues he strives to make this journey through these influential years an incredible road to travel. His hope is that they find the destiny and purpose that God has promised them in Jeremiah 29:11 by building strong friendships and experiencing God’s truth at H2O and Oasis groups.

Pastor Karl graduated from Desert Springs School of Ministry in 2002 after interning under Pastor Mark Rempel for three years. In Spring of 2005, he also graduated from Grand Canyon University with a Church Music Degree.
