EXPERIENCE I BRING TO THE TABLE
Experience that serves
your next step.
I’ve pastored in a megachurch and parachute planted a church from the ground up. I’ve built ministry teams, developed leaders, led community groups, and worked through the practical demands of planting and pastoring.
Since 2012, I’ve led True Life Church. I’ve also coached planters, assessed dozens through Acts 29, and served as a cohort leader and Area Lead.
My doctoral research, Drawn to Jesus: Pathways to Faith in a Secular Age, informs how I help churches reach people in a post-Christian culture.

Yes. We’ll agree on your goals and focus before starting. You can choose a single session or a package, and additional sessions are $135 each.
How do I get started?
Request a free 30-minute call and share a little about your situation. It’s a chance to discuss your needs and the coaching options before choosing a plan.
Is this only for a new church plant?
No. Coaching is for new planters and experienced pastors. We’ll choose modules or focus on the leadership challenges you’re facing now.
What will I leave a session with?
We’ll aim to clarify the current question, choose a practical action, and decide what to review next. A useful next step might be a plan for reaching your community, a fundraising campaign outline, a team plan, or a leadership rhythm.
Is this an official Acts 29 assessment?
No. My church planting, doctoral research, and assessment experience inform the coaching, but this is independent coaching. Formal network assessment and approval remain separate processes.
