Worship Pastor

My Ministry:

As the Pastor of Worship and Prayer, my primary focus is facilitating the corporate gathering of the church to worship in spirit and in truth and to foster a culture of worship and prayer within the body. This means overseeing Sunday morning services, leading and developing the worship team, sound and tech team, hospitality team, and prayer team.  I am passionate about the church gathering to lift high the name of Jesus, enjoy the fellowship of the Spirit and the saints, and encourage each other in prayer and exhortation. 

About Me:

I was raised in a military family which moved around a lot and was blessed to experience a broad variety of cultures and church expressions in my youth.  After a season of intense wandering (aka tremendous foolishness and ensuing consequences), in 2007 the Lord rescued me, returned me to the fold, and called me into ministry. Since then, I have had the privilege to do ministry in a variety of contexts around the country and the world. My wife Kristen and I married in 2014 and have led worship together ever since. We welcomed our vivacious daughter, Clementine, in 2017, the same year I came on staff at Christ Community.  We are passionate about people and connecting them to the grace and hope of Christ, something we do over coffee, a meal, or time spent in prayer, fellowship, and counseling.  Though it gets crazy at times, our home is regularly full of people (and animals)!  I love exploring and teaching on public theology and worldview matters, exploring how the Gospel of the Kingdom impacts culture, politics, and the church.
