About My Family

We live in Independence, Mo., and are planting Life Harbor Church. I was born and raised in Denver and later graduated from high school on the eastern plains of Colorado. I studied at Calvary University to get his Bachelor of Arts in Advanced Biblical Studies.

Molly grew up on the west coast in Paso Robles, Calif. After meeting at Bible college, we got married and have been serving in ministry together ever since.

Molly and I are blessed with two children: Judah and Eliza. We are both fanatics of great coffee, exploring and playing a variety of board games!

About My Church Plant

Our church plant can be summed up in one word—community. Community was made to be forever and every person was designed for it. It’s what we long for, what we need, and what Christ is redeeming from beginning to end.

Our neighborhoods are full of broken people living far from community with God or each other. Out of 700,000 people in our county, at least 46% are not religiously affiliated. In other words, half of the people in Kansas City have no extended spiritual family whatsoever. This means too many people are living life alone and lost without true community.

Life Harbor Church exists to anchor people in community with Christ in home churches in our neighborhoods. We want to see Christ-centered communities throughout Jackson County and beyond. Any support you can offer will directly impact this mission starting in Independence!

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.
