In 1985, he co-founded the Marin Association of Evangelicals, presiding over the group for five years. From 1995 to 2005, he was a member of the Mission Marin Servant-Leader Team, which promoted a local, trans-denominational, united prayer movement.

In 1995, he also helped form the Chaplains Unit of the San Rafael Police Department. He served for five years as a corporate officer of the Marin County Chaplains Association. He also served in the Chaplain Unit of the Marin Medical Reserve Corps.
