Hey Friends!

My name is Philip. I love Jesus, my family, coffee, and sports. I am a former pastor in the Sacramento area, who does church relations for a non-profit called World Relief. I am also currently a graduate student at Western Seminary.  I am married to the most amazing woman I could ever imagine, Carissa, and together, we have two incredible kids.

I began pursuing ministry seriously in 2013, and while it looks different than maybe I had envisioned, I have never looked back. I have a passion for studying and teaching God’s Word, believing this is what I was created to do. I am also passionate about introducing people to Jesus, because through Him, you can be fully seen, known, and loved, and you can belong.

My desire is to live everyday doing the next right thing, and trying to discover how to pursue my purpose in Christ.
