About My Family
Chelsea and I were married in 2018 and immediately moved to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, to pursue master’s degrees and further training. We both graduated in 2021, Chelsea with a Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling and Christian Education and me with a Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership.
We moved to New Bedford, Mass., in fall of 2021 and began working with Grace Harbor Church in the fall of 2022. We have two kids, Olan (4) and Ezra (2), who are a joy to know and love.

About My Church Plant
We are part of Grace Harbor Church’s vision for neighborhood churches. Chelsea works part-time as a database coordinator, and I was brought on as a gospel worker.
The gospel worker’s role is a catch-all, church plant support role in which I am able to build relationships with unbelievers, engage in discipleship with fellow believers and provide general support to leadership. It is basic missionary work typically seen overseas, but in an American context where fewer than 2% of the people in this city consider themselves religious.

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.
