I serve to help communities belong to one another in Christ—without erasing difference—and design informed practices that make that belonging real.

I serve the church as a practitioner-scholar: a pastor and nonprofit leader shaped by mission studies research. My PhD work argues that the missio Dei moves toward differentiated communion—an ingathering of diverse peoples that is both reparative and festal—with Paul’s Lord’s Supper in 1 Corinthians as the primary site. My research spans missional theology, intercultural ecclesiology, Pauline studies, and ritual formation.

I’ve led in pastoral ministry, nonprofit administration, and intercultural engagement—lanes that converge in teaching, training, and consulting with churches and academic institutions.

When Scripture is read faithfully, neighbors are loved well, and systems sustain both—the gospel takes root and communities flourish.
