About My Family

My wife, Lauren, and I have been married since 2010. The Lord has blessed us with four children. Since graduating with a Master of Divinity from Bethlehem College and Seminary, the Lord has put a burden on our hearts to spread the gospel through church planting.

About My Church Plant

In December of 2022, Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, commissioned us to plant Joy Church in Mankato, Minnesota. Our mission is to awaken greater joy in God through the gospel of Jesus Christ. For the past several months, we have been building a core team of believers who are passionate about seeing a grand vision of God’s glory fill these neighborhoods, this city, and the college campus at Minnesota State University. Would you join us in praying that the Lord would continue to bless this fresh gospel work?

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.

Pray

Pray for the growth of our core team and for the men who can be raised up as elders (Titus 1:5). Pray our team will have a unified vision that we might strive side by side for the advance of the gospel (Philippians 1:27). Pray doors will be open (Colossians 4:24) and the words to share the gospel with boldness (Ephesians 6:19). Pray the college students at Minnesota State University will open their eyes to the beauty of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).
