My goal is to build a relationship that not only encourages you in the adventure of ministry, but very much co-operates in what God is doing in your life, your church community and our world. I bring over 25 years of ministry experience, including 14 years as a church planter/lead pastor, and 15 years as a Coach.

“What I appreciated most was having a trusted, objective leader speak into the challenges and opportunities facing our community. Many of the things you shared about spiritual formation fit perfectly with what we’ve been teaching for years, but hearing it from a fresh outside voice lent credibility and weight to the centrality of formation and discipleship in our mission. It was also very affirming to hear someone tell us that our challenges are ‘good challenges’ and to be encouraged that we’re struggling with the right things.”
“Bob’s coaching has been pivotal to my development as a church planter and a disciple of Christ. Bob’s experience as a husband, pastor, and church planter come to bear on every conversation we have, and always bring a fresh take to my decision making process. Among the many benefits to working with Bob, perhaps foremost has been the way he constantly challenges me to apply values that do not change to a situation that should always be changing. The clear communication, and personal style in which Bob coaches always helps to capture the unique vision God has placed inside of me, and make it approachable and measurable for my community. I have always felt heard and understood in my conversations with Bob. While being an experienced church planter himself, Bob always helps to develop the unique vision I have without, remaking the vision to look like his. I am forever grateful for the contribution Bob has made in the life of my community and myself.”
“Outside input from a seasoned and knowledgable coach and pastor like Bob has been invaluable to me as a new church planter. Bob has helped me in my context by asking insightful, Spirit-led questions that help me do what I want and need to do in life and in ministry. Giving Bob the permission to explore, analyze, encourage and motivate me has been an incredibly positive experience. That, along with his focused, perceptive and caring demeanor have helped me grow beyond where I would be on my own. Without a coach like this, you will never realize or actualize your full potential, both personally or professionally. ”
"I've been in Missions 20+ years and had such a challenging situation in ministry which brought me close to the point to quit. Having Bobs support gave me courage, perspective and hope to go on! His ability to listen, to reflect what I say and his wisdom to help me to learn and grow through this situation was live-giving to me! His approach as a coach and spiritual director was exactly what I needed in my circumstances. Bob – I appreciate you very much and I’m very grateful for what you did for me - I owe you a lot!"
