Background: January 2016 Reg transitioned from Senior Pastor to Lakewood’s City Connector. A City Connector builds relational bridges among vital community leaders in a defined geographic area in order to develop, support or sustain breakthrough projects. Reg’s non-profit is called; “Lakewood Connects.”

Reg leads the Lakewood Church Network (12 years) and the Lakewood Faith Coalition (3 years). These networks partner with school, business, government, non-profit and neighborhood leaders to develop breakthrough projects that change lives! In 2016 these projects have focused on under-served elementary schools and their adjoining neighborhoods. By building partnerships and collaborative service initiatives we are witnessing grass-root sustainable changes in Lakewood.
