Summary
I've been leading worship for my local church for 20 years. I started as a volunteer when I was "green and 15", and have served fulltime on staff as Worship Pastor at Beltway Park Baptist Church since 2013 when I graduated from ACU. I love mentoring worship leaders, enhancing congregational engagement, and fostering deep, rich, counter-cultural, gospel-centered community through hospitality, teaching and life-on-life discipleship.
