I'm Jeff Hoglen, and I love the church.
I've been a church planter since 2001, and I currently have a church plant in southeast Asia with RockFish Church. The RFC main campus is based in North Carolina, where I previously pastored.
I also oversee a network of 25 churches in the Philippines with DOVE International. Besides that, I'm a certified coach and trainer with the Maxwell Leadership Team and serve as CEO of churchplanting.com.
I'm a practitioner and lifelong learner within the church planting and revitalization fields, and I love to help others learn and grow.
