About My Family
My wife, Amelia, and I first met after a Sunday morning service at Bethlehem Baptist Church in downtown Minneapolis. That was in April of 2013. In June of 2014, we married and transitioned our membership to Cities Church, where we began to feel our hearts stir toward planting a church.
In 2019, it was our joy to partake in helping plant Redeemer Church in Roseville, where I was blessed to serve for a time as one of its pastors. Now, in 2020, we, along with our two children, Caleb and Lydia, are back at Cities church—this time as church planting residents. Our prayer and desire is that God would allow us to plant another gospel-centric, biblically-rooted, and evangelistic church in the Twin Cities.

About My Church Plant
Jesus is alive and real, and His gospel grace is available right now to all who would turn from their sin and receive it. What glory! It is this blessed news that I desire to spend my days proclaiming. Specifically, I feel called to proclaim the gospel through the preaching of God's Word over and over again to His redeemed people, the church, and anyone and everyone else who would lend their ear to it.
I believe that hearing this gospel, reciting it to one another, immersing and satisfying ourselves in it day-after-day-after-day is how we glorify God, grow in Christlikeness and pursue the greatest joy this world has to offer. Therefore, I desire to plant a gospel-centric, biblically-rooted and evangelistic church where we might do this together, as a covenant community, to the glory of God and the joy of His people!

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.
