Being a former church/ministry-planter and Sole Pastor, I know that there are times when you need someone to conduct your worship services and preach.  I know that there are times when you’d like to invite a guest speaker to address a topic in your Bible Class, Leadership Team, Staff Retreat or Small Group but aren't sure who to ask.  I am offering to help in anyway I can.

Preaching and Teaching Style:

I have a conversational style that moves people to respond to a message. Whenever possible and appropriate, I use media to enhance the hearers understanding of the message which, God willing, the Holy Spirit uses toward life-change.   

Worship Style:

I am able to lead any style from high liturgy (yes, even chanting) to a full-blown contemporary/modern worship experience. 

My Church Background:

I have served large churches (Gloria Dei in Houston TX, 3,000 members) and small (Summit Community in Buckeye AZ, I planted the church with 45 people).  As a result, I understand the dynamics of a variety of church cultures and settings.  Click here for more.

The Big Question:  “Does this cost anything?” 

• If you'd like me to lead during your weekly worship services, all I ask is for my round trip mileage plus any stipend you feel is appropriate.
