EXPERIENCE I BRING TO THE TABLE
I’ve pastored in a megachurch and parachute planted a church from the ground up. My experience includes church operations, newcomer connection, and community groups—building teams, developing leaders, and helping launch new work.
Since 2012, I’ve led True Life Church in Arvada. I know the hands-on work of preaching, raising up leaders, and building ministry teams.
I’ve also coached church planters, assessed dozens through Acts 29, and served as a cohort leader and Area Lead for Denver-area churches. I bring that range of experience to the questions you’re facing in your own context.
My doctoral research, Drawn to Jesus: Pathways to Faith in a Secular Age, explored how adults come to Christian faith. That work informs how I help pastors think through reaching people in a post-Christian culture.
More about my experiencePRACTICAL MINISTRY MODULES
Reach your community, fund the vision, and develop the people who will carry it forward. We can work through these core topics or focus on what your church needs most.
DRAWING ON MY DOCTORAL RESEARCH
Understand the questions, assumptions, and longings of people outside the faith. We’ll work on evangelism, church community, and preaching that help people explore Christianity and take steps toward Jesus.
FUND THE VISION
Plan a campaign with a goal of raising twice your church’s annual budget. Develop a clear case for support, giving goals, donor conversations, and a practical follow-up plan.
Clarify where your church is going, communicate the vision, and translate it into practical priorities.
Identify and develop qualified elders, strengthen shared leadership, and build a pathway for future elders.
Recruit, equip, and organize people to serve with clear roles and a shared sense of purpose.
Identify, train, and coach staff and emerging leaders. Clarify roles, build a healthy team culture, and entrust responsibility as people grow.
Build pathways for helping people follow Jesus and grow together. Develop small groups, connect newcomers, and equip people to disciple others in everyday life.
Turn your vision into a workable year: priorities, calendar, budget, responsibilities, and rhythms for review.
THE 11 ACTS 29 CORE COMPETENCIES
These eleven areas give us a framework for your growth as a planter or pastor. Drawing on the Acts 29 competencies I’ve used in assessing church planters, we can focus on the areas where you need encouragement, clarity, or practical development.
