Works

Professional interim pastoral services are available for congregations in transition, offering short-term engagements of 3 to 6 months with flexible scheduling to meet specific needs. Ordained by the United Methodist Church, with experience as a featured speaker across multiple denominations including the United Church of Christ (UCC), Episcopal Church, and Baptist congregations. Ministry experience spans diverse faith communities throughout Central California, Northern California, New England, and Hawaii, bringing a rich understanding of varied congregational cultures. Services include dynamic pulpit supply, thoughtful sermon delivery, engaging worship leadership, and pastoral presence to provide congregations with stability, experienced leadership, and continuity of worship and care during important transition periods.

Specialized training for interim ministry includes comprehensive preparation through multiple denominational programs. An intensive 8-month program through the United Methodist Church in Texas provided foundational skills and methodologies essential for effective interim ministry work. Building upon this foundation, advanced training through the Presbyterian Church USA at Princeton further deepened expertise in navigating transitional periods within congregational life. This combination of rigorous educational experiences provides the theological knowledge, practical tools, and pastoral skills necessary to guide faith communities through times of change and transition.
