Born and lives in Skopje together with his wife Ana and their two sons. He is one of the founders of the “Glasnost” Evangelical Protestant Church, where he has served by preaching and leading worship for more than twenty years. He holds a master's in philosophy, and his main interests lie in philosophy, theology, literature, and culture.

One of his central interests is driven by the question: “How does continuous and significant change come about in the lives of Christ's followers?” From this question flows one of the main theses of the course “Spiritual Formation.” As a pastor and practitioner of this theme, for the sixth year now he has been putting these teachings into practice, together with his community — the “Glasnost” EPC.

After finishing Bible college, Filip also developed an international preaching ministry, preaching on five different continents with a special focus on mission in Africa. In 2017 he took over the leadership of the Evangelical Church — Veles, where he remains pastor today.
