Who is Sean?

Sean Tambagahan is a pastor, church planter, entrepreneur, and creative director working at the intersection of faith, creativity, and leadership. He helps leaders and organizations build with clarity and conviction—shaping vision, forming culture, and communicating what matters.

After serving 15 years at The Word Community Church, Sean planted Ekklesia, where he continues to preach, develop leaders, and build a church grounded in biblical conviction and intentional formation.

In the marketplace, Sean founded Butler Branding, leading the agency for over a decade before its acquisition by Archer & Hound Advertising, where he now serves as Creative Director. His work spans strategic planning, brand development, storytelling, and organizational alignment across churches, nonprofits, and businesses.

Sean serves on the boards of Fresno Mission and Mid India Christian Mission, supporting local outreach and global gospel initiatives in the 10/40 window.

He and his wife Candace are raising their three sons with a deep commitment to faith, leadership, and integrity. Family is central to Sean’s life and calling, and much of what he builds publicly is shaped by what he values privately.

Shaping Vision. Forming Culture. Communicating What Matters.

  • Teach | Preach | Write | Design | Direct | Strategize | Create | Facilitate | Cast Vision | Solve Problems

    I bring together pastoral conviction, creative strategy, and entrepreneurial leadership to help leaders and organizations move forward with alignment and clarity.

  • I serve leaders and organizations building meaningful work—churches, companies, nonprofits, and communities seeking depth, integrity, and long-term impact—through strategy, creativity, and communication.

  • I believe leadership is formed, not manufactured—and that the health of any organization begins with the integrity of its leaders.

    I work to bring clarity to vision, coherence to culture, and precision to communication—so leaders can make better decisions and build with intention.
