About My Family
Sarah and I married in 2008 and have four sons—Luke, John Wicks, Nate and Cameron. In my spare time, I play golf and coach my sons in sports. I enjoy woodworking and all things tech. I hold a degree in business administration from Auburn University and a Master of Divinity degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Along with serving churches in both Alabama and Kentucky, I serve as an SBC-endorsed chaplain in the U.S. Army.
About My Ministry
My primary responsibilities at Capshaw include overseeing the administrative staff, facilities, and finances and overseeing the church’s membership process, small group ministries and other administrative needs. I meet with church members regularly to help them assimilate into community life and service within the church.
My passion in ministry is to do the work of equipping others for faithful service in the kingdom of God. I deeply desire to help members of the Body understand the gospel’s transforming power and discover how it impacts every facet of life so they are driven to live on mission as disciple-makers for Christ. I understand the vital importance of public and private proclamation of the Word of God through expository preaching, discipleship and biblical counseling.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard to reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
