Hey Friends!

My name is Philip. I love Jesus, my family, coffee, and sports. I am a former pastor in the Sacramento area, who currently works as the church relations coordinator for a non-profit called World Relief. I am a recent graduate of Western Seminary with my Master’s in Biblical and Theological Studies, and because I apparently love homework, a current Master of Divinity student. 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. I have a passion for studying and teaching God’s Word, believing this is what I was created to do. I am passionate about introducing people to Jesus, because through Him, they can be fully seen, known, loved, and they can experience belonging.

Ultimately, my desire is to live everyday doing the next right thing, and learning how to pursue my purpose in Christ.
