Experienced Supply, Interim, & Consulting Pastor
I am a seasoned pastor, retired after a 41-year career that included 27 years successfully planting and leading a growing church. Recognized primarily as a gifted speaker, my passion is delivering messages that are clear, Biblical, and relevant to both those who regularly attend church and those who do not.
Whether providing expositional teaching through a book of the Bible or delivering topical clarity on a contemporary issue, my aim is always to ensure engaging and transformative teaching rather than simply communicating information. I have experience in delivering messages covering a variety of Biblical passages and topics.
Proven Stability and Operational Expertise
Churches seeking a temporary leader need stability and experience. Having served across the full spectrum of church life—from Youth Ministry and Church Education to Senior/Lead Pastor roles—I can offer a steady presence alone or working with a staff team. My expertise includes:
Available for Pulpit Supply & Interim Pastor
I am available for single messages or to lead a series over multiple weekends. My priority is to engage your congregation with reliable, relevant, and high-quality Biblical teaching. I can also offer stable, experienced leadership during transitional periods, focusing on maintaining momentum and preparing the church for its next permanent leader.
Church Consulting
I offer strategic guidance on growth initiatives, leadership structure, educational programs, and facility adaptability, drawing on four decades of practical ministry success.
