He was a member of the Apostolic Christian Church of Bloomington-Normal. He was active in The Gideons, Berean Prison Ministries, Western Avenue Community Center and LINCenter, Bloomington and his Truck Stop Ministry. Big E would never let an opportunity go by to share the gospel with those he came in contact with. His business card read, "If you meet me and forget me you have lost nothing.
