At Anchor & Ascent, I partner with Lead and Executive Pastors to help them think strategically and execute effectively. I strive to help your ministry thrive, whether you're planting, growing, or navigating change. I specialize in solving complex church leadership challenges with clarity, structure, and longevity.

The ultimate goal of my partnership with you is to help provide stability for today that leads to momentum for tomorrow.

What we will do Together

With a strategic and pastoral framework, I come alongside Lead and Executive pastors bring clarity to the daily complexities of modern ministry.

Modern-day ministry is demanding—and deeply complex. I come alongside you, not just as a confidant, but as a trusted partner, to help move the biggest rocks in your church and design a clear path forward. Whether you're facing day-to-day operational challenges or dreaming about the future, I’m here to help you gain traction in the most strategic areas.

My goal is simple:
To become one of the highest-producing resources at your fingertips as an executive team.

In our first meeting, we will:

  • Identify the key targets (“bullseyes”) for your church

  • Build a strategic plan to move toward the center of each

  • Begin tracking progress with clarity all the while planning with you for what’s next

Together, we’ll systematically pursue what matters most—milestone by milestone.
