Back when I was in seminary, I worked the night audit at a 400 room Howard Johnson in Springfield, MO. Every time I say that, I get a craving for clam strips. Working the night shift gave me some very interesting stories to tell like the time Sam Walton was standing in my lobby, or when I checked in the entire General Presbytery of the Assemblies of God to decide on Jimmy Swaggart's fate, or the bad behavior of several of our guests. The morning desk clerks always told me, "You tell the best stories." I love a good story, but I enjoy telling them more. In my writing, I find that principles and platitudes are necessary, but only go so far. Just about the time I find myself getting bored with my own writing, I put in a story. I hope you enjoy stories as much as I do. I have devoted the last 25+ years to helping people find Christ, make meaningful connections, grow in their faith, and find fulfillment in ministry. I have successfully launched hundreds of groups at two churches as the Associate Pastor: New Life Christian Center, Turlock, CA for 15 years and Brookwood Church, Simpsonville, SC for 4 years. Additionally, I have had the privilege of coaching hundreds of churches of all sizes and denominations since 2004. In my coaching, I’ve been truly amazed at seeing thousands of groups launched with tens of thousands of people connected. It has been a great privilege and a wild ride both. I have taught workshops for local churches as well as speaking at the Purpose Driven Church Conference at Saddleback Church, the BASS Church Workers Convention, the Willow Creek Association – Canada, and many others. I have earned a B.A. in Biblical Studies and Missions and an M.Div. in Christian Education. Most of what I have learned has come through the school of hard knocks. Many lessons have been learned through trying new things, failing, and trying again. But, now I know what works and can help you take the guesswork out of groups. Allen, his wife, Tiffany, and their four children live in Greenville, South Carolina.
