I have served as pastor of Mission Fellowship Church in Middletown, DE since 2004. During this time, I led the church to move from an attractional ministry strategy focused on numbers and attendance to a missional strategy focused on personal ministry in the community. The church has sent out over 100 missionaries to all parts of the country ingrained with this mindset. Prior to that, I served as pastor or staff member in the areas of evangelism, youth and music in churches in Alabama and Louisiana. I have also served as a short-term missionary to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and in Panama City, FL. In addition to currently serving as pastor, I assesse church planters and am president of Missional Press, a hybrid publishing company focused on Missional Thought, Theology and Practice.
I have a BS in Computer Information Systems from Athens State College in Athens, AL, a M.Div in Biblical Languages from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry, Leadership in the Emerging Culture from George Fox Seminary where I learned under Dr. Len Sweet. My doctoral dissertation focused on the integration of theology and emerging sciences to discover how people learn and unlearn behavior. I have also done post-graduate studies in the area of Organizational and Mass Communications at the University of South Florida and the University of Alabama.
I have published one monograph, Chaos in the Church and one book, Kept: The Message of Jude. I am nearing publication of Holy Rewired: Science, the Gospel, and the Journey Towards Wholeness and am also writing a book on Missional Theology based on the Trinity called The MIROR Church: The Church Reflecting the Heart of the Trinity. Finally, my first true ebook, Reframing Success: Missional Metrics for Ministry Success is due out in September 2009.
In addition to my ministry-related experience, I am a Microsoft Certified Professional and has seven years of IT development and networking experience for several startup firms in Florida, Microsoft, and a media publishing division of Time Warner.
