Pastoral Vision

My passion is to lead and collaborate with community focused, vision driven churches and teams toward obedience in the Greatest Commandment, and the fulfillment of the Great Commission. My desire is to help people see God’s heart in every page of the Bible and to see Jesus’ presence in our daily lives so that we might worship Him in spirit and in truth.

The Bible gives the church it’s mission, and I believe the local church is free to innovate creatively and develop its local vision for its people and for outreach in the community with the direction of the Holy Spirit.

I believe gospel centered preaching, intentional pastoral shepherding, clear vision, and authentic community relationships are key to a church’s health and essential for developing lifelong faithfulness.

My Call to Ministry

God often meets us where we least expect it, and for me this was during my short-term missions trip to Malaysia during my college career. The Lord used this trip as a catalyst to set me on the path toward seminary.

Three years later during an Israel Study Tour, I felt the Lord confirm my call to preach. I knew the first step in obedience to this call was to obtain a solid biblical education. After completing my Master of Divinity from Denver Seminary, the Lord in his abundance blessed me with two years of study in Israel for my second masters degree.

After a long journey of saying “yes” to the Lord, both in the big and the small, and in the possible and seemingly impossible, I now help people learn to love Jesus and his Word by developing followers of Christ through relational discipleship and through effective Bible centered preaching and teaching.
