About My Family

My wife, Jen, and I are originally from Texas, and we have three children (Joshua, Joanna and Caleb). After marrying in 2014, we moved to Toronto, Ontario, where we planted a church with Send Network. In 2019, we moved to Washington, D.C., where we planted Pillar Church of Washington, D.C. Then, in 2022, Pillar D.C. sent us out to plant once again, this time to San Antonio outside Lackland Air Force Base.

We came to San Antonio because of the massive military presence and the tremendous need for healthy churches that clearly preach the Word of God in this area. We’re part the Praetorian Project, a family of multiplying churches in military communities worldwide. San Antonio has been dubbed “Military City USA” and is home to three military installations, 35,000 troops and around 100,000 veterans. The fields here are white for harvest!

About My Church Plant

Pillar San Antonio was formed after Pillar D.C., the church I was previously pastoring, sent my family out along with two other families in the summer of 2022 to begin this new work. Together with four other families who were already in San Antonio, we began having core team meetings in our home in September of 2022.

Our church meets minutes from Lackland Air Force Base, one of the busiest and most active Air Force bases in the world. While we don’t exclusively reach military families, and our church is made up of people from all walks of life, we do want to be a church where military members and their families feel at home and loved. We see the transient nature of military life as a unique opportunity to make disciples who will take the gospel with them wherever Uncle Sam sends them around the world.

NAMB Church Planting

Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.

Pray

Pray that God would continue to build our core team, bringing the right people to be part of this work. Pray for boldness for our church members and for fruitful evangelism as we share the gospel. Pray for more leaders and disciple makers to rise up in our church. Pray for open doors to share the gospel with military members and their families in and around Lackland Air Force Base. Pray for financial provision for our church plant.

Participate

There are three main ways you can participate in what God is doing at Pillar San Antonio. Pray– Prayer is essential if we are going to make disciples and plant churches. Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing! (John 15:5) Give– We can’t do what we do without the generous financial support of churches and individuals who partner with us in giving financially. Go– Come on a short-term trip as a group, or consider moving here to join us!
Many missionaries build a team to join their ministry in prayer, participation, and provision. These friends, family and churches support missionaries beyond the tithes and offerings given within the church plant.
