Hello, and thanks for visiting! I grew up in Springfield, IL and came to Kansas City in 2003 to attend Calvary University. My wife Meghan and I married in 2006, and homeschool our three children, Zoey, Micah, and Ethan. I have been in youth ministry for over 18 years, 11 of which have been at Sherwood. I graduated from Calvary University with a B.S. in Youth Ministry, and I'm currently a ThM student at Dallas Theological Seminary. In February 2022 I began serving as Lead Pastor.

Hello from the LePages. Beth and I grew up in Joplin, Missouri. We met in college and were married in 1990, then moved to Dallas, Texas, a year later to attend Dallas Theological Seminary. We connected with a church there and I served for 14 years as Associate Pastor of Worship and Youth. Our first four little Texans were born during that time (Hannah, Abigail, Josiah and Lydia). We then moved to Lawrence, Kansas, in 2005 where we added a couple Kansans (Mary and Elijah) and I served as senior pastor of Community Bible Church for 10 years. I then planted and served CityChurch Lawrence for six years transitioning to Kansas City to serve as professor and Chairman of the Ministry Studies Department at Calvary University for the past eight years. I joined the Sherwood team in February of 2026 and also serve as a hospice chaplain. Pictured with Beth and me is our youngest, Elijah.
