938 Church

938 Church is a gospel-centered church in West Chester, PA, serving Christ by building community, strengthening faith, and extending compassion.
At 938, I build ministry through:

  • Consistent expository, Christ-centered preaching

  • Activating the body of Christ to live a shared mission

  • Nurturing leadership founded on gospel-centered patterns

  • Developing disciples who live integrated, non-fragmented lives

My book, Rest for the Restless, didn’t begin as a publishing project—it began as pastoral work.

Much of the writing on this site:

  • Emerged from sermons and pastoral conversations.

  • Was refined through teaching, listening, and lived experience.Reflects real people navigating work, leadership, faith, and exhaustion.If the book resonates with you, chances are the teaching will too—and vice versa.

Why I Stay Rooted in Church Ministry

I believe the local church is God’s Plan A for the healing of our world. It is designed to be the primary formation environment.

That’s why:

  • My writing stays tethered to real communities.

  • My teaching stays pastoral, not theoretical.

  • My ambition stays submitted to God’s pace.

The church keeps my work honest, embodied, and human.
