About My Family
Both my wife, Victoria, and I were born in Florida. I came to faith when I was a teenager, but it was in college that I started to develop the disciplines of being a Christian and what it looked like to follow Christ. It was during this time at the University of North Florida that I grew in my faith through being involved with the Navigators ministry and also our local church, the District Church.
It was also with the Navigators and the District where I met my bride, Victoria. Victoria’s father is from Quebec, and it was during a trip to meet her family back in 2018 that we got to experience the need for ministry in Montreal. Over the past few years, we continued to explore ministry in Montreal, received an M.Div from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and got trained up and sent by Open Door Church in Raleigh.

About My Church Plant
Through the Pillar Network, we were able to connect with Grace Church Verdun and Christ Covenant Reformed Baptist Church. The lead pastors there, Brad and Andrew, have been nothing but affirming in wanting to partner on mission to see the gospel spread throughout the city of Montreal and the Province of Quebec. Our plan is to partner with these and other churches in Montreal as we grow accustomed to the city, familiarize ourselves with the French language and develop a core team to plant after three to five years. The goal during this time would be to simultaneously work toward church planting and to grow and encourage the existing churches through evangelism, Bible studies and helping with other areas of ministry as needs arise. Our hope is to see the gospel continue to establish and take root in the city of Montreal.
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.
