Mission Trips: I’ve coordinated, planned and led mission trips to Honduras, Seattle, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, the Sierra Service Project, and Cuba. I believe that mission trips are an important part of youth ministry programs, and I especially believe in the importance of theologically reflecting about the experiences while on the trips.
Ashland Youth Collective: Upon arriving at Ashland, I encountered a small, struggling youth ministry program. After partnering with 3 other local, progressive churches (UCC, Methodist and Episcopal), we created the Ashland Youth Collective, an ecumenical youth ministry partnership that is presently still going strong.
