About My Family

Stefanie and Charles were married in 2005. They have two amazing children, Addisyn (2010) and Londyn (2016). Charles previously served on staff as a children's pastor at Edmond's First Baptist Church before leaving to be a church planting apprentice in Phoenix in 2016-2017.

About My Church Plant

Our mission is to lead people to be the church. Church is not a destination, but a group of people who have surrendered their lives to Jesus and joined together for the purpose of extending His kingdom to their friends, family, neighbors and community. We believe the church does three things: gathers together, grows together and goes (on mission) together. Currently, the church is inviting people to gather with us, discipling them and training them to live a life on mission with the aim of launching services in January 2018.

NAMB Church Planting

Demonstrated Christian character is essential for missionaries and chaplains to gain credibility and build community. A missionary is a person who, in response to God's call and gifting, leaves his or her comfort zone and crosses cultural, geographic or other barriers to proclaim the gospel and live out a Christian witness in obedience to the Great Commission. The North American Mission Board supports missionaries serving across the United States, Canada and their territories. Churches are the missionary incubators and sending centers for missionaries through the Southern Baptist Convention. Missionaries serve in a variety of settings and face tremendous challenges. But the rewards are tremendous and life-changing. Missionaries have the privilege to represent their church and their Father in sharing the gospel as the primary focus of their activity. If you are interested in pursuing next steps as a potential missionary or chaplain from your church, explore the possibilities at namb.net/send-me.

Pray

For churches as they prepare to send out missionaries and chaplains to push back lostness in North America. For receptive hearts among the people in communities where these missionaries and chaplains will serve. For churches and individuals to partner with missionaries and chaplains and to give of their time and talents. For the Father to send more workers into His harvest to join these missionaries.

Participate

Connect as a Sending Church or a Supporting Church with a missionary’s work. Commit to long-term missions support with your missionary partner. Be involved in supporting missionaries and their families. Pray for missionaries.
Many missionaries build a team to join their ministry in prayer, participation, and provision. These friends, family and churches support missionaries beyond the tithes and offerings given within the church plant.
