I long to see people transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. I love my wife of 30 + years and my four children. I love music, reading, hiking and watching movies. I love visiting other cultures and countries. Above all, I desire to share God’s love with everyone, that we all might know and rely on the love God has for us in Jesus Christ our Lord My call to ministry came while I was on a short-term mission experience with a Covenant youth group I was attending in high school. I was excited that I could help meet the physical and spiritual needs of others. My faith in God deepened as I experienced more of His presence. I knew I wanted to live a life that counted for eternity and responded to God's call by studying Youth Ministry at Colorado Christian University and serving Him in the context of the local church. I’ve had the benefit of being involved in several different denominations throughout my life and have been mentored along the way by a diverse group of men and women. I have worked as Youth Pastor and Worship Director in churches in Lakewood, CO, San Diego, CA, and Coshocton, OH. I have also served as Pastor of Student Ministries at churches in Auburn, WA and Manchester, CT. For the last 8 years I’ve had the great privilege of cultivating a beloved community of the Kingdom of God right here at Hartford City Church. https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/welcome-card daily 0.75 2021-02-26 https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/lent-resources daily 0.75 2024-02-09 https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/upcoming-events daily 0.75 2026-04-02 https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/childrens-ministry daily 0.75 2024-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9afa89578b092bb9a56735/1673973791367-EX8FOPK5KK94AXAEUJ10/unsplash-image-1zR3WNSTnvY.jpg https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/community-partnerships daily 0.75 2023-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9afa89578b092bb9a56735/25732e88-0c62-4c0d-8e8b-6eb31355f12c/Naylor+Christmas+store.jpg Community Partnerships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9afa89578b092bb9a56735/bae01e48-7cd3-41a3-a201-fc29eb11de17/Street+Church+sign.jpg Community Partnerships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9afa89578b092bb9a56735/9ad6e21b-3e51-40da-97d5-f4a497f102a4/HCC+Golf+for+Amirah.JPG Community Partnerships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9afa89578b092bb9a56735/e8227da2-5c0d-4388-aa91-d9b5f16adc94/street+church+pastor+phil.jpg Community Partnerships https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/summer-schedule daily 0.75 2025-07-12 https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.hartfordcitychurch.com/store daily 0.75 2023-02-16
