Meet Our Pastor

How it all started...

Our dream to start a church in Philly began in 2011, when I  began to sense that God had something more. . Over the next two years, I  felt God making this dream clearer. So, after 14 years on staff at a church in New Jersey, I  took a huge leap of faith and resigned our leadership position to begin this new journey.

While I  was ready to go all out to start this church, I  really had no idea where or how to start. So, in the fall of 2013 we made the decision to move to Philly and start a church-planting residency. We really just wanted to learn how to plant a life giving church - the type of church that Philly needs.

It is my honor to serve God by leading Transform Church together with an amazing team of people. For us this mission is all about God and people - helping people understand who God is and the incredible things He longs to do in every life. This is our passion, helping people move towards God’s great dream for their lives!

Love our city...


I LOVE the people and the city of Philadelphia - from its revolutionary history to its passionate sports fans. Like this city our background is culturally diverse; growing up in Austria, the United Kingdom, Nigeria and the United States as well as doing mission work in India, Taiwan and Indonesia. I know that God has uniquely prepared me  for this moment - Pastoring a church in Philly. There’s nowhere else that I’d rather be!
