Ian has 12 years of pastoral experience and has grown a church in Europe from 45 to 450 members, in two locations, almost half of that time being bivocational.
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.
