Church Planting in Austin

• Lead Pastor

  • Jun 2010 - Jun 2014

  During our Church Planting season, we launched Riverpoint Church in Austin, Texas. As founding pastor, I was responsible for all aspects of the ministry including financial, organizational, leadership and teaching. I oversaw several staff and volunteers and I organized multiple community serving opportunities for our people, challenging them to make a tangible impact in their communities. We relocated Riverpoint further north and relaunched as The Creek Community Church. Within this new community, I was responsible for all aspects of the church ministry from the procuring of a rented facility to ensuring age-graded classes are skillfully taught. I was directly responsible for all financial decisions of our organization. I also organized an ongoing weekly teaching schedule and facilitated a discussion-driven atmosphere in our weekly gathering. In June of 2013, The Creek Community Church merged with North Hills Community Church to form Ethos Church. I served as the Teaching Pastor and oversaw several small groups as well as other ministries within the church. As Teaching Pastor, I was responsible for developing and carrying out half of the messages throughout the year. Show less
