Senior Pastor

In ministry, it often feels like our values compete with one another—our walk with God, caring for our family, working our jobs, finding time to rest, and serving the people of our church family. So how can we authentically care for our spouses and children as we face these competing values?

In 2024, First Baptist Church began implementing a new strategy to help us fulfill our local church’s outreach responsibility. Discover the inspiration behind this fresh approach, learn how we’ve put it into action, and hear compelling stories of both our challenges and victories. Whether you're looking to get more involved or simply curious about our journey, this workshop will offer valuable insights and inspiration

If I am convinced of anything, it is that God has called us to a life of excellence—not sinless perfection, neurotic perfectionism, or buying into the world’s “success syndrome.” “For His eyes only we commit ourselves to living above the level of mediocrity. He deserves our very best; nothing more, nothing less, nothing else. That alone is excellence.” - Charles Swindoll

Storms are common. Tornadoes are rare. It's best to learn what to do before they come. A crisis doesn't happen very often in the life of a church; but when it does, it has the potential to utterly destroy everything. This session is aimed at helping pastors navigate high-profile crises that can fall upon the church.

Planning Your Preaching will focus on how to develop a preaching calendar that ministers to your church family’s needs while providing a balanced Scriptural diet of the Word God that feeds the flock the whole counsel of God.

We will understand together what pragmatism is, give some biblical examples, and provide direction on how to be innovative or creative in ministry without compromise.

I'm happy to share some lessons the Lord taught me as we walked through our ministry transition here at CBC when I became pastor. This session is geared more for church leaders, pastors, and future pastors.

In this sessions, we will study 2 John and see how truth relates to our ministry in a postmodern world. We are also going to comprehend how a ministry of truth is only effective when accompanied by love.

Every local church deserves to be led and managed with excellence. Schedules, facilities, budgets, and calendars often come to the top of the mind; however, one of the most important things that needs to be managed well is the volunteer system. Leaders know that getting things done through people is one of the keys to success. Join us in this session to learn some of the best practices that small churches are using to build strong volunteer teams.
