What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can combine pastoral care with operational leadership—supportive culture, clear mission focus, opportunities to develop leaders and manage church operations.

I am a Christ-centered pastor with extensive experience strengthening church mission through strategic planning, administration, and discipleship. I have supported senior pastoral leadership by managing daily operations, goal setting, and ministry planning to enable effective ministry execution.

My background includes overseeing finances, facilities, technology, and administrative systems — managing annual budgets (notably $942,825 in 2025) and leading a $1.2 million building expansion and renovation project. I have administered adult ministries, developed discipleship strategies, and identified and developed ministry leaders.

I bring practical operational skills including office administration, HR policy, property and facility management, vendor/contracts oversight, and proficiency with MS Office, Google Suite, Canva, ACS, and QuickBooks. I prioritize organized systems that allow pastoral staff to focus on spiritual care and growth.
