About My Family

I have been married to to wife, Emily, for eight years. Together we have four kiddos: Christopher Jr., Raelynn, Addison and Analise. We live in Decatur, Ill., with our two dogs and two cats.

I am a theology nerd, and if you catch me outside of the church, you will most often find me with family or spending time in nature.

About My Church Plant

I accepted a call to become the lead pastor of Galilee Baptist Church in Decatur, Ill., on Sep. 1, 2024. Early on, it was determined that this church was the place where a church replant was necessary. Through the process, Covenant Baptist Church was formed.

Launching on Easter Sunday 2025, Covenant is dedicated to living out the love of Jesus, reaching the lost, healing the broken and making disciples! Simply put, we are dedicated to introducing people to the real Jesus and living this out in every facet of their lives.

NAMB Church Planting

Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom we speak. Pray that through this ministry, more people would come to saving faith and live on mission. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.

Participate

Build relationships with missionaries and their families. Send notes of encouragement. Learn birthdays and anniversaries, so you can send gifts and cards.
Learn the ministry strategy and context, so you can provide relevant resources. Support a missionary financially.
