About My Family
I’m 29 years old and have been married for four years to McKenzie. I'm an Okie, and she is a Texas girl.
McKenzie is a teacher at a private school in Oklahoma City. I’m a 2020 graduate of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and have served Oklahoma Baptists as a building services worker for four years. McKenzie and I had our accidental first date (long but funny story) in the small town of Guthrie, which is where we are planting Garden City Church!

About My Church Plant
We are excited to start a new work in Guthrie, Okla., a town with a lot of history that is experiencing revitalization as a community. Our vision for a new church in Guthrie is birthed from a desire to impact pervasive lostness in the community.
The first thing many Christian leaders say when I mention Guthrie is that there is a darkness over the town. When you are in Guthrie that becomes evident, there are haunted houses, witchcraft and deep seated works-based salvation of the Scottish Rite Freemasons to which Guthrie holds the Grand Temple for the southern United States.
There is also a quickly growing demographic of people my age, who tend to be less religious as a whole. We don't believe we are the savior of Guthrie, we see Garden City Church as us partnering with God to see renewal and revival in Guthrie for His glory.

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.
