  • I will start by saying thank you to everyone who prayed and reached out to help in anyway. Means the world to me and my family and we appreciate it more than you know. Collective family, you are the best. We love and are truly grateful for you for your support, prayers, love and support.…

  • When I was a kid, in the 80s, television stations and radio stations wouldn’t always come in clear. Sometimes you had to turn the knob just a little to adjust the reception to pick up the correct frequency so you could listen to the radio or watch the TV program. We don’t always have those…

  • I see many leaders posting things they have learned in their ministry tenure. The interesting things are the similarities of the struggles and realizations when reading some of these posts by others. We all have a lot in common. This month is our 20th year on the Gulf Coast as we moved from Oxford, AL…

  • My wife and I have the privilege of being the Sr. Pastors of Collective Church in Pascagoula, MS. Through the past 20 years, we have learned a few things when it comes to evaluating new hires and staff development. I don’t think I can claim to have come up with all of this on my…

  • Collective Church Family: Every year, we pray and seek The Lord on the specific mission for our Church. This usually concludes with a specific word and this year is no different.

  • Church Culture Every church and staff has it’s own unique culture and flavor.  Here is a list of some of the Collective Church culture: 1. We have a Jesus and Bible culture instead of a religious, stuck in tradition or motivated by denominational dogma or preferences.  People don’t last long around Collective who are religious,…

  • Ministry is hard. The hardest thing to do in ministry is to pour into people’s lives, introduce them to the friends that they have, the faith that they hold, and the freedom they experience, and then **poof**…like you never meant a thing…they are gone! “You aren’t a human anymore when you become a pastor. You…

  • Today at Collective Church, I will be speaking on Relationships and boundaries that sometimes have to be made in toxic relationships and acquaintances. Just because you are “family” and “blood” doesn’t make you obligated to endure trauma and toxic environments and abuse. Everyone needs this message today. Everyone also needs to define their relationships according…
