About My Family
My wife, Angel, and I have been blessed with five children, and ministry has always been something we have shared as a family. We love people, the local church, and seeing lives changed through the gospel of Jesus Christ. God has given us a particular love for Franklin, Indiana, and this community. We are grateful to be raising our family here, putting down roots, and investing our lives in the community God has called us to serve.
I have served for many years in pastoral ministry, preaching and teaching, discipleship, and Christian education. Through every season, the Lord has deepened my conviction that His primary instrument for making disciples and advancing the gospel is the local church. Our family is thankful to serve Christ together, and we are excited to see what God continues to do in and through Crossway Bible Church.

About My Church Plant
I serve as the lead pastor of Crossway Bible Church in Franklin, Indiana. Crossway is a church replant born out of two congregations coming together with a desire to see a gospel-centered church established for the next generation.
Our mission is simple: Glorifying God by Making Disciples.
We want to be deeply rooted in Scripture, centered on Jesus Christ, dependent upon prayer, committed to one another, and engaged in God’s mission. Our discipleship vision is expressed through The 4W Life: helping people Worship Christ, Walk with Christ, Work for Christ, and Witness about Christ.
Our heart for mission extends here, near, and far. We want to share the gospel and make disciples in Franklin and Johnson County, strengthen and plant churches in our region, and take the gospel to the nations through prayer, giving, partnership, and sending.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.
