WHY THIS SITE EXISTSWhy I’m sharing this.
My wife Melanie and I, and our kids Ethan and Avery, attend First Naples Church in Naples, Florida. Faith is an important part of our lives, and I wanted one simple place where I could share a little about why.
Here you’ll find a straightforward explanation of the Chirstianity, some of my own story, and practical information about First Naples. My hope is simply to give you enough to explore it for yourself.

Jody’s Testimony
Faith didn’t always look the way it does for me today. I grew up around church, drifted away, and eventually realized that knowing about Jesus wasn’t the same as truly believing in Him for myself.
Maybe faith doesn’t begin with having all the answers.
Maybe it begins with being willing to ask.
