Founder & Executive Director of Vine & Branch Microchurch Network

I have a passion for helping believers and non believers reimagine the Church, their calling, and life in Christ. This passion has grown into a conviction for the gospel to transform lives in our city. I have served in pastoral ministry for 12 years in a variety of roles as a youth, college, and executive pastor. In March of 2023, God made it very clear that my wife and I were to resign our pastoral role at an incredible church, community, and congregation. Before knowing what the next steps would be, we acted in obedience, trusting that God was leading us. Since that leap of faith God has made it clear to launch Oklahoma City’s first microchurch network. We have a vision for hundreds of microchurches to be planted in places and spaces where the traditional model of Church can not go. These churches will be creative, centered on mission and serving, and reaching people far from God. A microchurch might be new language for you… but if you have ever sat in Church and wondered, “is there more to faith than this?” Well, there is. If you are ready for something MORE, I would love to connect with you over coffee. Click below to connect!

NETWORK COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR & CO-LEADER OF VINE & BRANCH OKC

When we allow someone else to carry our burdens the load becomes lighter. My hope and desire is that that ALL children, moms, families, teens, and individuals that enter this space feel welcomed and not so alone. In my practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor my theoretical framework and job is not to fix you. My job is to be present with you in your suffering. Hold space for you, hold space for your burdens. Healing happens when we acknowledge our own suffering and share it with another person. We were created to live life in community with one another. The Lord has woven Chris and I’s gifts together in a story and way that only He could. My desire for Vine & Branch is that we are creating a space that you feel safe, seen, heard, and valued. Creating a place where all our community is emotionally and mentally healthy so that we can be the hands and feet of Jesus.
