For Christian churches & ministries

More time for people.
Less time keeping the systems together.

When volunteer schedules, scattered records, and recurring administrative work keep pulling you away from people, I can help you find a more workable approach.

Talk through what is getting in the way. You can also ask about pro bono project support.

Why this work matters to me

I know ministry
from the inside.

I spent seven years in relational ministry as a full time missionary living on support. I led teams, started new outreaches, and served in regional leadership.

That experience shapes how I approach technology for churches and ministries: with attention to the people doing the work, the resources available, and what the team can realistically maintain.

Today I bring 12 years of leadership experience, including five years building better business systems, together with an MBA and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

What I can help with

Practical changes shaped around your people and resources.

Four ways to make
the work easier.

01

Find the information you need

Bring scattered records together so staff can see what needs attention without assembling another spreadsheet.

02

Make recurring work easier

Reduce the chasing around volunteer schedules, registrations, event preparation, and routine administration.

03

Give people a reliable way to help

Clarify responsibilities and document recurring tasks so more work can move forward without the same few people.

04

Choose and use tools well

Work through a software decision, connect existing tools, or explore a specific task where automation or AI could save time.

Free 30 minute conversation

Tell me what keeps
taking time from people.

We’ll talk about your ministry, what is getting in the way, and whether I can help. You can also ask about pro bono support.

Choose a time that works.

Calendly asks for your name and email. You may also share your organization, a note, and a number for appointment text reminders. You can decline marketing email or meeting recording and still book.

For pro bono project support

Pro bono support
for a focused piece of work.

Free introductory conversations are available to Christian churches and ministries that confess the contents of the Apostles’ Creed below. Pro bono projects have no professional fee and are selected based on fit, scope, and my available pro bono capacity. Paid project work is also available.

Christian mission

A church, ministry, or faith based nonprofit serving a clear mission.

Concrete challenge

A defined data, AI, systems, or operational need—not simply a general desire to “use AI.”

Internal owner

A staff member or leader can participate, make decisions, and carry the result forward.

Reasonable access

The team can provide the people and non sensitive information needed to understand the work.

Implementable result

A focused engagement can leave behind an action, workflow, tool, plan, or clearer decision.

Flexible timing

The need can be scheduled around limited pro bono capacity rather than emergency response.

Read the Apostles’ Creed used for eligibility

I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
