About My Family
I have been serving the Lord since I was born again in 2017. I used to be an alcoholic and roamed the streets of San Bernardino. When Jesus Christ came into my life, He showed me that there was no life I could have without Him. I served under pastor Marshall Jones at Set Free Banning for many years, growing and maturing in my spiritual life.
In 2021, I met Stephanie, a wonderfully made woman of God. She loves the Lord, she loves the lost, and she loves me! When I decided to pursue planting a church, she dove in with me! We got married six months after planting Set Free Mount Vernon.
We have two dogs and hope to start a family soon. We love nature, we love serving the lost, and we pray that one day we can start a homestead so we can live a clean, sustainable life that will glorify our God and the lives of our future children.

About My Church Plant
We planted Set Free Mount Vernon in April of 2022. In the past two years, we have sown our roots here in this community. We also run a men’s discipleship home for people who used to be homeless and addicted on the streets. This ministry builds men up in the Lord and also prepares them to life a Spirit-filled life full of success!
Since opening, we have had three graduates who are currently still in fellowship with our church. We also provide showers for the homeless, averaging about 20 showers a week. We provide hot meals daily and have gospel conversations daily with all of the people we meet. We build relationships with the homeless in hopes some may come to know the Lord. We also run a weekly food bank that allows us to bless and connect with an average of 50 families a week. In all of this, God is just getting started!

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.
