As Lead Pastor of Mission City Fellowship (MCF), Philip focuses on the overall care and teaching ministries of the church. A Midland native, Philip and his wife Danielle have two daughters, Lily and Hope. They lived in San Antonio for a time before moving to Seguin (Just outside San Antonio) in 2008 where Philip was sent by his local church – Lifegate Church (a Sovereign Grace Church) – to the Sovereign Grace Pastors College in Louisville Kentucky and returned to Seguin to serve on the pastoral team of Lifegate Church. In 2021, Philip and his family were joyfully sent by Lifegate and the Sovereign Grace South Central Region to plant MCF in San Antonio. Philip has a heart for Biblical Counseling and longs to see MCF as a faithful church community where the Word is preached, the Gospel is permeating our daily lives among one another, and the joy of Jesus fills every heart.
