At Modern Tentmaker, we walk alongside bi-vocational pastors—equipping you with tools, coaching, and encouragement to help you faithfully live out both your ministry and marketplace calling. Whether you’re leading a church, running a business, working a trade, or serving in another capacity, we believe both callings are sacred—and you shouldn’t have to carry them alone.

Modern Tentmaker was founded by Pastor Matthew Castillo, a bi-vocational leader who knows the unique challenges and rewards of juggling pulpit and profession. As the founding pastor of Believers in Christ Community Church, Matthew has shepherded a growing congregation while also serving as a national presenter and sales leader with Logos Bible Software, training pastors and ministry leaders across the country. 

Our mission is simple: to encourage, equip, and empower pastors like you to not only survive—but thrive—as you serve God faithfully in both ministry and the marketplace.
