About Eldon

Eldon grew up in a very rural setting of the Bitterroot Mountains of Idaho, but has spent most of his ministry in university and college contexts. Eldon taught Spiritual Formation and Counseling in the graduate counseling program at Messiah University and designed a Christian Spiritual Formation model for the university, as well as an adjunct at Fresno Pacific University and Lutheran Seminary.  He received training in spiritual formation and spiritual direction from Kairos Center for Spiritual Formation and Shalem in the D.C. area. He has served for over fifty years as an ordained Wesleyan pastor.

Why I am at AMBS

I have served in Anabaptist contexts and appreciate the opportunity to mentor students preparing for ministry work.  I have the opportunity to mentor a pastor in the Brethren in Christ church.
