My passion in life and in ministry is to receive and extend the pursuing love of Jesus Christ to those God sends across my path. Honestly, because I’m selfish, I struggle with this. But God is in the business of changing us from the inside out, through His Spirit, so that we can become effective channels of His grace to those around us. As Senior Pastor, I am charged with casting vision, leading our Staff, staying culturally connected, communicating relevant, Biblical messages, promoting spiritual growth, stewarding Hope’s resources, and praying faithfully that God would protect us, transform us, and send us out in pursuit of His Kingdom purposes…in His world…for His glory!!

Ministry: Adult Discipleship

One of the things I love about God is that He desires not only to save us but to change us, to make us more like His Son, Jesus (Romans 8:29). And so He gives us His Word, the Scriptures, to teach us who He is and how He calls us to live; He gives us His
Holy Spirit to live within us to help us understand and live according to His Word; and He gives us His people to encourage us, to teach us, to pray with and for us, calling us to do the same for them. As Pastor for Adult Discipleship, I oversee ministries like our Campus and Home Community Groups, Men’s and Women’s Ministries and Prayer Ministry, ministries that exist to bring people together in authentic community so that we might link arms and walk together into a life of greater faithfulness to Jesus, for our joy and His glory!
