About My Family

I love being a husband to my wife, Dee, and a father to my son, Ryne, and daughter, Clara!

You can find me enjoying time with my family or in the Cleveland community, most often at a coffee shop, drinking hot tea—don’t tell anyone I don’t drink coffee!

About My Church Plant

I’m the lead pastor and planter of Township Church. Along with my wife, Dee, we’re living proof that God can call anyone to anything.

Starting a new church wasn’t even on my radar, but God had a different plan! He began to give us a heavy burden for people who aren’t living for Jesus. Together, we began to feel that God was calling us to plant a new church. He started to show us amazing things that only He can do, making the call to plant Township Church very clear.

God gave us a heavy burden for a people and a place, that we were already living in. The Cleveland Community (Clayton, N.C.) was exactly where He wanted us and has us today!

As God brings more and more people to the area who are looking for something different, He gives Township Church a greater passion to make Jesus followers who “Live Differently and Love Differently”!

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.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom we speak. Pray that through this ministry, more people would come to saving faith and live on mission. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.
