The majority of time was as the Senior Pastor of a larger, regional church which was highly engaged in creative outreach enterprises. Phil then moved into denominational roles for a number of years, providing support to churches through consultancy and coaching churches towards greater health, creative engagement with their community and fruitfulness.
Phil is a trained church consultant, coach, mentor, and pastoral supervisor and takes great delight in walking alongside and serving leaders and churches in their own context. He has a Bachelor of Theology, Grad Cert. in Arts, Grad Cert. in Pastoral Supervision and Cert IV in Christian Leadership Coaching.
Phil brings wisdom, empathy, creativity and a deep love of churches and pastors.
Phil recognises the challenges, complexities and disappointments ministry can bring and is committed to seeing leaders and churches ministering effectively from a deep abiding place.
