The feeling of being stuck and not being able to progress.
I have been there.
As I changed my focus to growing a healthy church, things changed.
We got some ‘medical’ advice and moved on in the right direction.
I can help you do the same.
Get the passion back, get some advice and progress, with a fresh set of eyes.
Four mistakes
church leaders make
MISTAKE 1 - Flying solo
In today’s complex world every pastor needs an experienced coach to help them navigate current leadership challenges
MISTAKE # 2 Pastoring like it is the 20th century
Pastoring has dramatically changed this century and a new day demands a new approach
MISTAKE # 3 Focus on growth not health
Pastors focussed on church growth end up frustrated and confused by the lack of results
MISTAKE # 4 Lack of fresh eyes
Every church gets healthier when fresh eyes look at current programs and routines

Access my years of pastoral leadership experience
I have 12 years of pastoral experience.
As Lead Pastor at C3 Rivers Church (Arnhem, The Netherlands) I led our church from a campus church of 45 members to a full member church with 450 members, in two locations. We are currently in the process of starting a third and fourth location as well as acquiring our own building. I am also on the leadership team of C3 Church Europe.
In 2016 and 2017 I engaged John Finkelde as a Grow a Healthy Church consultant, which led to significant growth and health in my personal leadership as well as in the life of our church. Being bivocational by nature, I became a GAHC consultant for Europe/UK in 2020.
I have an Advanced Diploma in Leadership from Hillsong College and an Undergraduate Degree in Econometrics and Operational Research from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
I have been married for 12 years and have two sons and a daughter. I am the author of The Norman Factor (Printopya, USA), a book about a life and death scenario my wife and I went through and the supernatural lessons I learned through it.
