About

I love serving in youth ministry and getting students to get psyched about Jesus.

[2022-Current] YOUTH PASTOR – POMERADO CHRISTIAN CHURCH

I’ve spent the last couple of years partnering alongside both parents and students in a rebuild of the youth group. The ministry lost a lot of traction when it lost its former youth leader due to a major family hardship. Outside of adopting a temporary interim to lead students from a calculated distance, the youth pastor role remained empty for over a year before I was hired.
Collaboratively, the youth leadership team has repurposed the youth group’s mission statement, leading to the students finding an enlarged presence in Poway’s community.
I’ve focused much of my time on reconnecting the adolescent crowd with different ministries via intergenerational ministry.

[2019-2021] YOUTH PASTOR – LAS FLORES CHURCH

Helped lead the student ministry into a significant number increase before the COVID-19 pandemic took over.
Spent quarantine "stay-at-home" order time rebuilding the interior of the youth room and constructing a recreation shed.
Traveled to students’ homes weekly to teach them bible studies from their curbs, preaching from the recycle bin pulpit.
Saw waves of student participation throughout COVID-19; we re-emerged with a surprising number of familiar faces.

Reason for Departure: Simply put, the Senior Pastor let each staff member go one by one until the board asked him to resign.

[2017-2018] STUDENT MINISTRIES PASTOR – VALLEY CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Led a youth group of 40+ students.
Developed a student leadership team, delegating different responsibilities to each.
Built healthy communication lines between the parents and youth leadership.

Reason for Departure: Right seat, wrong bus; can explain in more detail upon request.

[2014-2016] JUNIOR HIGH DIRECTOR – THE CHURCH AT GREEN HILLS

Oversaw junior high ministry leadership and development.
Increased the average attendance sizably over two years practicing relational ministry.
Co-led Family Ministry Team in its attempt to fuse separate ministries into a more holistic fellowship.
Led the students from being a scattered bunch of strangers into a solid community.

Reason for Departure: Served 3 years when wife became pregnant with second child; needed salary increase

[2010- 2013] JUNIOR HIGH DIRECTOR – TORRANCE FIRST BAPTIST

Shepherded a growing JH ministry that nearly doubled its size each year of service, totaling over 30 active teenagers in the 7th/8th-grade middle school bracket
Recruited and empowered the student leadership team to become a steady presence in students’ lives.
Enlisted two college students to help mature the worship team and begin teaching students the art of worship.

Reason for Departure: I served 3 years before my wife became pregnant with our first child, which led me to begin seeking a FT role.
