🌿 Equipping Faith Communities for an Ecological Future
MinistriesLab is where my two decades of experience in marketing consulting, my own path as an ordained minister (Cooperative Baptist Fellowship), and my ongoing doctoral research in Ecology, Spirituality, and Religion converge. I created this initiative to help churches and faith-based organizations not only communicate more effectively in a digital age, but also to integrate ecological wisdom into the very heart of ministry.
At the California Institute of Integral Studies, my PhD work in Integral Ecology and what I call the Ecology of the Cross explores how spiritual traditions can deepen their relationship with the natural world. MinistriesLab brings that vision into practice by offering consulting, speaking, and place-based insights designed to help congregations live into an ecological spirituality that is both faithful and sustainable.
Helping churches and faith communities grow sustainable ministries by weaving together theology, ecology, and digital strategy.

🌎 Why MinistriesLab?
The challenges of our ecological moment demand more than surface-level “green” programs. They call for a deeper spiritual shift, one that sees the interconnection of all life as central to faith.
Drawing on my background as a pastor, teacher, and consultant, and informed by scholars like Thomas Berry, Edith Stein, Donna Haraway, Catherine Keller, and Alfred North Whitehead, MinistriesLab offers a practical, theologically-rich, and forward-looking approach.
This isn’t just about strategy, it’s about equipping faith communities to embody an ecological spirituality that sustains both people and planet.
