About My Family

My beautiful bride, Laura, and I have been married since 2006. We have three amazing boys: Colden, Braden and Ashden.

The Lord called us into ministry following Hurricane Katrina. We now live in my hometown Kenner, La., where I’m planting and pastoring Family Church NOLA.

About My Church Plant

Family Church NOLA was formed with a mission to “Love God Passionately” and “Love People Personally.” We began forming our core team in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic meeting via Zoom. Our initial launch date was scheduled at the same time Hurricane Ida wrought southeastern Louisiana.

In lieu of a grand-opening service, we partnered with sister churches to give away more than 10,000 meals and thousands of supplies out of our church parking lot and impacting hundreds of homes in the days following the storm. Family Church’s property also experienced damage which caused us to move locations to repair our space for nearly a year. As of December 2023, we’re finally back ministering out of our location. Our community is ripe for the harvest and after this investment. We’re beginning to see a great response!

NAMB Church Planting

Millions living in North America have not been reached with the gospel. But a new church makes change possible in an unreached neighborhood.
Send Network church planters immerse themselves in a community, learning the rhythms and culture as they establish relationships with the lost. A church plant grows out of the evangelism efforts of the planter and his core team.

Pray

Pray for our passion, resources and vision. Pray for our family as we shine the light of Christ in our community. Pray for Family Church as its established and mobilized to invest and multiply into other communities as well. Pray the Lord raises up leaders within our church and sends partners to serve alongside us.
