Core Values

Abandonment to the Text

Effective Communication

I seek to communicate in a way that addresses the whole person (head,heart,hands), and draw listeners into the depth and riches of the gospel.

Reaching the Next Generation

Growing Leaders

Reaching the next generation requires identifying and equipping its leaders. This is why I believe Internships and residencies play a critical role in reaching future generations.

The Arts Matter

The Beauty of the Gospel

The gospel is more than propositions. Through the word and Spirit the gospel's beauty excites the imagination. The arts play an important role in amliphying the beauty of the gospel.

Liturgical Integrity

Principled Worship

Worship "in Spirit and truth" moves beyond stylistic preferences to the critical structures that serve the thematic focus of worship: offering God the worship he is due as we rehearse the beauty and mystery of the Gospel.

Mere Orthodoxy

Teaching Essentials

In 1 Corinthians 15 Paul talks about essential truths of the Christian faith that are "of first importance." Strong pastors prioritize these essential truths in their teaching and preaching.

Advancing Reformational Thought

Kingdom Scholarship

The Reformed tradition calls for a rethinking of all of life in light of the Lordship of Jesus. As a pastor-scholar, I seek to illuminate the implications of the gospel for all of life.

Whole Life Discipleship

All of Life is All for Jesus

Worship "in Spirit and truth" moves beyond stylistic preferences to the critical structures that serve the thematic focus of worship: offering God the worship he is due as we rehearse the beauty and mystery of the Gospel.

Mere Orthodoxy

Cultural Transformation

In 1 Corinthians 15 Paul talks about essential truths of the Christian faith that are "of first importance." Strong pastors prioritize these essential truths in their teaching and preaching.

Advancing Reformational Thought

Deep Discipleship

The Reformed tradition calls for a rethinking of all of life in light of the Lordship of Jesus. As a pastor-scholar, I seek to illuminate the implications of the gospel for all of life.
