  • 12: AJ Sherrill
    Serving as Lead Pastor for over two decades in churches across the country from Southern California to New York City, AJ Sherrill is thrilled to be pastoring Saint Peters Church in Mount Pleasant, SC. Having earned several Masters degrees in theology and a Doctorate in the area of spiritual formation, I teach courses on preaching and also the Enneagram at Fuller Theological Seminary, as well as workshops on spiritual formation and personality theory. Most importantly, I am a disciple of Jesus, husband to Elaina, and father to Eloise. Least importantly, I am an unfortunate Michigan fan, thus winning seldom, but often gaining humility.

    Being With God: The Absurdity, Necessity and Neurology of Contemplative Prayer,
    The Enneagram For Spiritual Formation: How Knowing Ourselves Can Make Us More Like Jesus,

  • 10: Mike Goldsworthy
    For 19 years, Mike served on staff with Parkcrest Christian Church in Long Beach, CA. The last 11 of those years, he served as the Lead Pastor, transitioning the church towards multiplication models of church planting and discipleship communities, while also shifting a largely homogenous church towards more diversity, helping to create experiences for the church to live in the biblical tension of unity in the midst of diversity. 
    Currently, in addition to teaching as an Adjunct Professor of Ministry and Bible at Hope International University, he helps churches and church leaders engage with nuance and thoughtfulness in difficult conversations that they are often not having. He guides and mentors individuals as they walk through transitions of deconstruction and reconstruction of their faith. He also works with churches and leaders who are finding new ways for the church to move forward in post-evangelical realities.
    He and his wife Allison have been married for over 20 years, with two teenage children. In the summers, you will often find them hiking, biking and camping together.
