Summary:

​

Spirit-Filled and Spirit-led: Jesus made the way for us to be a new creation that can be continually filled with the Holy Spirit. God's grace is upon me to help others grow in literally knowing and walking with God. 

 

Diversity: My last full-time position in WI was at a ministry considered one of the most diverse

churches in the greater Milwaukee area. This diversity is especially in ethnicity, but also in age and socioeconomic status being a church in the center of many communities. I have also served at ministries that have a predominate race present, such as African American or Roma (Gypsy). 

​

Teaching: I have taught as a guest speaker for worship services and Bible studies, but my best experience was leading a young adults ministry (18-39) for a couple of years, with a high focus in teaching. Please search “Kingdom Culture 2030” on youtube to hear examples. 

​

Volunteer Coordination: Leading worship teams since 2010, the young adult ministry (a church service), and especially Christian outreach events. Prior to ministry, I had also led various music ensembles, sections, and bands, including being the drum major (conductor) for a WI marching band (often rated 1st in state, and was in the Rose Bowl and Macy’s Parade).

​

Administrative Qualifications: Worked as the admin for a property preservation company, subbed as receptionist occasionally at Evangel AG Church, and have managed other operations and events. Peach Tree (Invoices), Word, Pages, Excel, Data Entry, Emailing, Phones, Audio/Visual Media Programs (recording, publishing, and presenting), Filing, Adobe Photoshop, Wix website building/editing, social media marketing

​

Communications: Exemplifying the integrity of an organization, building and maintaining professional relationships, and doing projects together. This has been as a coordinator for a Christian stage in a summer series event; an evangelistic musician and event coordinator; assistant on the pastoral staff at Evangel helping with outreaches, engaging with other ministries and leaders within the church; children’s ministry coordinator for a Billy Graham event; teacher at Gymboree Play and Music; private music teacher; and as an admin communicating with tenants, contractors, and businesses within a property maintenance and preservation company. In the music section, it will show that my wife and I have also worked musically with well-esteemed ministries.

 

Summary of Last Full-Time Position: This role was in many ways, serving as a general help to the lead

pastor, with communication, events, outreaches, and simple day-to-day needs. This role also included helping communicate and resolve needs within the ministries at the church. Since working there, the church (Sunday morning attendance generally not exceeding 250-300) operated with 4 full-time employees (the lead pastor, myself, and two in administration), and 2 part-time on the pastoral staff. Through the directive of the lead pastor at Evangel AG, I launched a ministry for ages 18-39 that grew strong in character and in the gifts of the Spirit, that included worship services, Bible studies, evangelism, and special events. My wife faithfully served the Lord with me in many capacities, including with worship and the young adults, but especially helped develop a drama ministry that is now considered an integral part of the church’s identity. The music ministry has been noted to have grown significantly in musical ability, being led by the Spirit, and in understanding and exemplification of sincerity of worship. A big influence on the ministries that I’ve been able to be a vessel for is lifting the bar, the standard, in excellence of service, with planning and organization, especially as exemplified through the dramas and outreaches. Other ways of service included subbing as a secretary, building a website, and online promotions. My heart is to serve the Lord wherever there is a need as He leads, and thereby, I get to wear many hats! The other strongest influence I’ve had at this ministry is in teaching, primarily to the young adults, but with occasional opportunities to preach on Sundays and to the youth. A big influence through teaching has been unto them understanding we are called to know Him!, and provoking them to to seek the fulness of what Jesus Christ has made a way for, which glorifies Him, as is shown in our fruit in love and in power.

Work History: 

​

Since my move to the LA area, I have served in ministry related events such as broadcasts, fundraisers, and church services. I have been working in what are mutually understood as temporary opportunities, including helping in music ministry and sound at various ministries, and purchasing work vehicles.  Please see "Upcoming Events" for more. We  are currently renting in Monrovia, but our lease now allows room for moving whenever we are ready. As music ministers, we have friends serving with us in music ministry who also moved from WI in the summer of 2017. Our move came with strong conviction that it was time to move to SoCal to serve the Lord, initially attentive to considering the move when my wife and I were asked to work at a Christian broadcast network (her for administration, and myself for a church plant and broadcast), which became evident to transition out of due to unrelenting extreme moral and legal failure. I was ordained in July of 2018 through Dan Sherstad Ministries, in cooperation with the Fellowship of Christian Assemblies.
