About My Family
Jennifer and I have been married since December 2006. Our mutual passion for the Lord, missions and music were key to that beginning. Our four children are homeschooled: Haddie (15), Ben (12), Quinn (10) and Jesse (2).
Jennifer was an elementary school music teacher and worship leader up to the time we started having kids. From 2010–2020 I was on staff as a worship and missions pastor. Before that I had a recording studio and was involved in local and global mission work. In 2020, I stepped back into the audio/music world for business and then into another church staff role focused on disciple-making and missions. The Lord began to make it clear He was leading us to step out to do something autonomous in building and leading a new work with a simple house church model.
We love family time, trips to Colorado, and enjoying the outdoors!

About My Church Plant
We live in a transition area between urban Oklahoma City and the slowly shrinking rural communities. Our church gathers in our home with a vision to multiply healthy disciples and churches in likeness to what is common around the world. Our emphasis is equipping the priesthood of believers to live fully devoted to Jesus and His mission with a strong global focus toward the unreached, those who’ve never been exposed to the gospel.
We have a focus on the diaspora among us and a desire to raise up missionaries. As we’re establishing ourselves as a church and building a committed community, we’re in a strategic season of prayer, research and field tests to find open doors and spaces for gospel proclamation and ministry. Mobile-home parks are looking like strategic places for these opportunities to connect with those God is preparing.

NAMB Church Planting
Millions in North America are in desperate need of hope. Ultimately, the only hope that’s going to last - in this life and the next - is the hope of the gospel. North American missionaries build relationships and share this hope in their communities and beyond.
