About XPastor

The Mission of XPastor is Bb + Ph = XP

Business Brain + Pastoral Heart = Executive Pastors

XPastor is a global tool for churches of all sizes. Since 2003, we helped hundreds of thousands of leaders. We receive 500,000-1,000,000 visits a year.

Fletch

• As an experienced pastor, he knows church life.
• With billions of dollars of salary data, he provides insightful Compensation Studies.
• As a professor, he delivers insightful material. As a seasoned mentor, he helps you grow. 

Dr. David Fletcher is often called The Dean of Executive Pastors. Fletch was a pastor for 35 years in churches from 1,000-8,000 members, single and multisite, churches with mergers, camps, schools, apartments and cafés. He founded XPastor in 2003 and its free articles from hundreds of authors have become a principal resource for leaders in a complex church world.

With degrees from Dallas Seminary and executive education at the Kellogg School of Management and the Harvard Business School, he brings an objective perspective, vast experience, biblical principles and best practices. For twenty years he taught Doctor of Ministry students at Dallas Seminary and ETS India, and has written books and scores of articles for national publications. Fletch is a Contributing Editor to ChurchLaw&Tax.

With his wife, Tami, he loves to walk the hills near their home in Austin, Texas—and Fletch loves scuba diving in rivers, lakes, missile silos and the world’s oceans. Plus he loves to row one or two 10Ks each day.

Jesse

Jesse Spradley has served as a pastor in churches ranging from 500-20,000 members—from Children’s Pastor to Executive Pastor and most things in between. He loves the church. Jesse has also served as a missionary in Costa Rica and Honduras for many years. He is currently a leader at Revolution, a large church in Georgia.

Jesse brings an energy and focus to everything he does and truly enjoys being the helper behind the scenes for church staff, specifically young pastors. Jesse has been married for almost 20 years and has 2 kids, one in high school and one in elementary school.

Having grown up a pastor’s kid, Jesse knows the church and has great experience serving for over 20 years in the church. He is well versed in XPastor’s Salary Forecaster, having used it for many years, and loves it!

Jesse is the Compensation Director and works with XPastor’s Compensation Studies.

“Mrs. T”

Tami Fletcher is the Director of XPastor. Her favorite event is the annual XP-Seminar when she is face-to-face with all the people she has been ministering to via email throughout the year.

She and David have been married for over 40 years and thoroughly enjoy doing ministry together. They are parents of Jason (and wife, Erin) and Lauren and grandparents to Greta and Fletcher. Tami feels blessed that she lives in the same town as her kids and grandkids.

When she’s not at her computer doing XPastor ministry or playing with the grandkids, Tami can probably be found out in her garden, tending to her Texas native plants and flowers.
