Student & Family Ministry Leaders

These mentors are humble, effective student ministry leaders (or former student ministry leaders) from our Church Forward network.

They have served faithfully with character and impact over time. Each one is excited and ready to share their time, hearts and experience with you.

To make the most of your strategic mentor connection, we encourage you to do the following before you make your first call.

  • Review the purpose and approach of strategic mentoring on the “About” page of this website. Strategic mentoring is NOT long-term mentoring but rather a strategic conversation around your current challenge or question.
  • Prepare your thoughts & questions using the Mentee reflection questions found in the “Resource” section.
Then, by all means, chose a mentor and make your call!

Brief bio: 

My life could be summed up into a few categories

Faith: My spiritual journey with Jesus really took off around the age of 21. Got married and fell into the youth ministry. God has blessed me in so many ways and has allowed me to mature in my relationship with him

Family: Wife Beth has been an amazing partner and has helped me mature both emotionally and especially spiritually. We have 2 grown children and 2 grandchildren

Ministry: In both my youth and adult ministries my focus has been on discipleship. God gave me an intuition for discipleship and provided opportunities for me to develop that intuition. I find great joy and satisfaction in watching someone develop a deepening relationship with Jesus

Hobbies: sports (coaching volleyball) hunting
