Scheduling

How do I schedule you to preach at my church?
The easiest way is to fill out the scheduling form on my website. You can also email me at [email protected]. Just let me know your church name, preferred dates, and the type of service you'd like me to preach for.
What is your availability?
I'm typically available for Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening services. I can also accommodate revival meetings and special events. Please reach out with your preferred dates and I'll let you know if I'm available.
How far in advance should I schedule?
I recommend reaching out at least 2-4 weeks in advance for regular services, and further ahead for revival meetings or special events. However, I understand that sometimes needs arise suddenly — feel free to contact me even for shorter notice requests.

Compensation & Logistics

How does compensation work?
I receive love offerings only — I don't charge a set fee for preaching. Whatever your church feels led to give is appreciated. My primary goal is to serve the body of Christ and preach the Word, not to make money.
Do you travel outside the Pee Dee region?
I primarily serve churches in the Florence, Darlington, and Hartsville area. However, I'm willing to travel for the right opportunity. If your church is outside this area, please reach out and we can discuss it.
What do you need from the church?
I just need a time, a place, and a congregation ready to hear the Word of God! If there are any specific topics or Scripture passages you'd like me to preach on, let me know ahead of time. Otherwise, I'll seek the Lord's direction for an appropriate message.

About My Preaching

What is your doctrinal position?
I'm a fundamental, conservative Baptist preacher. I hold to the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture, the deity of Christ, salvation by grace through faith, and the other fundamentals of the Christian faith. You can read my full statement of faith on the Beliefs page.
Do you preach revivals?
Yes! I'm available for revival meetings and would be honored to be part of what God does in your church. Whether it's a weekend revival or a week-long meeting, please reach out to discuss scheduling.
What style of preaching do you use?
I believe in expository, Bible-centered preaching. My goal is to explain what the Scripture says, show what it means, and apply it to the lives of the listeners. I preach with conviction but also with a heart of love for God's people.

General

Can I hear you preach before scheduling?
Absolutely! You can watch past sermons on my Facebook page or YouTube channel. This will give you a sense of my preaching style and doctrinal positions before you invite me to your church.
Do you have references from other churches?
Yes, I'm happy to provide references from churches where I've preached. Just ask when you reach out to schedule, and I'll connect you with pastors who can speak to their experience.
How do I contact you with questions?
The best way to reach me is by email at [email protected]. You can also connect with me on Facebook. I do my best to respond to all inquiries promptly.
