You’re leading something that matters. But it might be costing more than it should. Unclear expectations. Burned-out teams. Creative output without creative health. Endless production cycles that leave little time deep work.
I’ve spent two decades helping churches and ministry leaders build cultures where creativity and health go hand in hand. Whether you’re stuck, scaling, or starting something new, here’s how I can help.
healthy team culture
Create an environment where your team can thrive, not just get by.
I help churches:
- Diagnose what’s really off (it’s usually not just the meetings)
- Align values, language, and rhythms
- Design better feedback loops and creative pipelines
- Set a culture that doesn’t burn people out
Examples:
- Designed new team rhythms for a multi-campus church post-reorg
- Led “Creative Culture Audit” and playbook for a worship/tech team in conflict
- Helped turn multiple unhealthy church ministries into generative, enthusiastic and effective teams r
leadership development
Grow leaders who are self-aware, grounded, and generative.
I coach individuals and leadership teams in:
- Emotional intelligence + spiritual maturity
- Healthy decision-making and team dynamics
- Leading creatives without micro-managing them
- Naming blind spots and leveraging strengths
Examples:
- 1:1 coaching with worship leaders & communications directors
- Monthly leadership roundtable for creative pastors
- Built self-assessment frameworks + reflection tools for ministry teams
creative problem solving
When the idea is good but the execution is fuzzy—or the team is stuck.
I help ministries:
- Unstick stalled initiatives
- Navigate conflict with clarity and care
- Lead through change and vision misalignment
- Map priorities for the next season
Examples:
- Rebuilt a church’s communications process in one afternoon
- Mediated and solved a tech-vs-worship turf war
- Helped a lead pastor craft a clear content calendar with team buy-in
creative direction for ministry
Shape the message, mood, and movement behind your next big moment.
From branding to planning, I help you:
- Set a cohesive vision for events, services, and campaigns
- Align visuals, copy, and experience across every channel
- Build a plan that’s inspiring and doable
Examples:
- Led creative direction for Easter + Christmas for 6,000+ attendee church
- Scripted and planned generosity campaigns that have raised millions
- Directed messaging arc + visuals for a youth camp experience
writing, producing, & storytelling
Turn ideas into content that moves hearts and invites action.
I help churches and creatives with:
- Testimony writing and video scripting
- Short films, reels, original music + lyric consulting
- Devotional books, eBooks, and voiceover scripting
- Tone-of-voice and messaging strategy
Examples:
- Wrote and produced several full-length albums, singles and EPs
- Scripted giving campaign videos and emotional story packages
- Helped creatives shape ideas into written books, worship songs, and brand kits

Your ministry doesn’t need more content. It needs more clarity. More depth. More culture-shaping creative that outlives the moment. I’d be honored to help.
