I did not choose multiethnic ministry. My story did. I grew up in Florence, South Carolina, a Black kid coming of age in the South, formed in predominantly white faith spaces. I learned early what it feels like to love the church and still wonder if there is room for all of who you are. That tension could have made me bitter. By God's grace, it became a calling instead. At Clemson, where I served as president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, I got my first taste of leading across cultural lines.
Now I'm in Charleston, serving as Director of Ministry Operations at Grace City Church, a multiethnic, gospel-centered church in North Charleston, with growing preaching and teaching responsibility. I'm a qualified cultural intelligence practitioner. I married Ellie here, and our marriage made reconciliation the daily fabric of our home before it was ever my job description.
I write and teach under the phrase "in process," because that is what I believe formation is: faithful motion in one direction. My days are spent in the unglamorous, formative work of the local church, and I would not trade it.
My wife and the person walking with me through the becoming, the calling, and the ordinary grace of everyday life.
Some ideas are too big for Instagram and too unfinished for a book. This is where I work them out.
Culture, faith, the inner life. The stuff that keeps me up at night and gets me out of bed in the morning. Start here:
Sermons and conversations, newest first, plus recent episodes of the CQ Podcast: conversations with Pastor Will Plonk about culture, identity, belonging, and what it actually costs to grow across difference.
On stages, in workshops, and around tables. Rooted in Scripture and honest about the tension.
If something here connects with what you are building, wrestling with, or becoming, send a note. You do not need a polished request. A few sentences is plenty.
