Ministry Experience
After practicing law in Lakeland, Florida and the Chicago area for 6 years I first pastored Loomis EFC, Loomis, NE, followed by pastorates in Clinton, IA (Clinton EFC) and Sheboygan, WI (Sheboygan EFC).
I was called to follow Glen as DS of the Gulf States District, which merged with the SED. I planted a church in Alabaster, AL for 3 years and also became DS of the KY/TN (East Central) district (October 2000).
After serving full time as the DS I also became the Associate Pastor at Shades Valley Community Church, Birmingham, AL (2002). I still serve there.
After leading the East Central District to expand and include the states of AL/MS/LA (becoming the Southeast Central District) it was a privilege to be a part of the merger of the Southeast Central District and the Southeastern District to become the current EFCA Southeast where I am now serving as Associate Superintendent.

Bruce has served as youth director, associate pastor and senior pastor.
He pastored a church that daughtered three new churches. Since January
1998, Bruce had been a church planting missionary and the Director of
Church Planting in the Rocky Mountain District. Bruce transitioned to be
the Director of Church Planting for the EFCA Southeast on February 1,
2009. Also, Bruce has been a Sonlife Ministries trainer, a church health
consult conducting ministry assessments for churches. He is a graduate of
Moody Bible Institute, BA, MA Min.

Bruce has a passion to see new churches intentionally making disciples and
reproduce new churches. He is convinced that church planting is one of
the primary and effective ways to see evangelism and to see
disciple-making take place. His desire is to see tens of thousands of
people coming to Christ in such a way that a movement of of new churches
would sweep our country.

To see this realized, Bruce has committed to:
• Persistently praying for the Lord of the Harvest to raise up workers
for the harvest.
• Developing a district church planting team through multiple regions
within the EFCA Southeast.
• Strengthening the district’s seven support systems for church planters.
• Developing a reproducing movement through establishing Church
Planting Training Centers across the district.

Bruce’s faith goal is to see 20 to 30 new churches begin each year and
1000 new churches over the next 15 years. Check out
