The Story Behind The Contracting Preacher
The name "The Contracting Preacher" wasn't a marketing idea — it was born from lived experience. Dr. McKnight spent years serving his community from the pulpit while simultaneously building expertise in federal procurement. He saw too many talented, hardworking business owners missing out on government contracting opportunities simply because they didn't know the process.
So he made it his mission to bridge that gap. To take the complexity of SAM registrations, SBA certifications, and government proposals and make them accessible. To walk alongside small business owners with the same care and commitment he brings to his pastoral work.
Today, The Contracting Preacher serves clients from 15 offices across the country and all 50 states. Every engagement starts with a conversation — not a sales pitch. Because Dr. McKnight believes that when you lead with service, success follows.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."— Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
