Accomplishments
In addition to pulpit ministry, I remain active in various teaching and outreach roles, including:
I am currently an on-call pastor at Fox River Lutheran Church (Free Lutheran). My strengths and gifts are preaching to a congregation of 300-400 people (with an online reach of up to 4,000). There is a strong vote to keep me as an on-call pastor. I was also the interim youth leader until the church found its current youth leader. God is calling me into an evengelical space to preach bold truth and grow a church that hungers and thirsts for true theology and sound doctrine.

Church Growth Plan - Description
My plan to grow the Church is not in amenities or what the world desires, but through speaking the truth. I would do that by using the Scriptures (John 17:17, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17). Scripture is everywhere in my sermons. The Church in America today is filled with false teachers who preach what people want to hear rather than the truth and repentance (2 Timothy 4:3; Jude 1:4; Acts 20:28-30; Matthew 7:15). This is important because Christians are dying to hear the truth, which creates demand. My gift is being able to use the Scriptures and apply them to our modern world. I use images on all my slides to provide a visual reference. I also make sure I include the Scriptures I preach from on the slides. I currently preach in a small country church that has 300-400 in-person congregents, but I have thousands of people listening to my sermons online, on weeks I preach. I know I’m young, but so was King David, King Josiah, the Prophet Jeremiah, Pastor Timothy, and even Charlie Kirk.
