About My Family

My wife, Alexis, and I moved to the Rehoboth Beach area in January 2023 to plant The Harvest Church. We have four boys—Roman, Atlas, Leo and Elisha—and we have another boy on the way!

We love the southern Delaware area, not only for the beautiful beaches, but for the people God has given us such a heart for. I recently left my career in financial marketing and have stepped out full-time in order to plant and pastor, following God’s call, and I am so excited to see the Lord move in a mighty way in my heart and mind and the hearts and minds of my wife, kids, congregation and community.

About My Church Plant

The Rehoboth Beach area was initially established as a Christian retreat center by the Methodist church. Since then, it has radically transformed into a hub of sexual licentiousness and homosexuality. There are only traces of that past purpose left that can be seen in the old church buildings converted into secular meeting places and theaters that celebrate the homosexual lifestyle. We want to see our Lord transform this area back into a thriving community of believers where people would come from all around, not to walk in their sinful passions, but to encounter Jesus in real and meaningful ways through the Body of Christ.

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.

Pray

Pray for our family as we work together in ministry. Pray the church will be established and will faithfully work to plant in other communities, too. Pray the Lord brings leaders who can help within the church. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.
