About My Family
I am originally from Charleston, S.C., and a very proud alum of Charleston Southern University. I have been in Christian ministry since 2000. Having prior summer experiences as a student missionary, in both college and seminary, I began my work full time with resort ministry in 2007. I served seven years in resort ministries in South Carolina and Georgia before making my way back in the summer of 2018 for ministry in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
In December 2013, I married Chelsea Copeland, formerly Coleman, of Woodstock, Ga. Chelsea has ministry experience with students, children and marriage and family counseling. We received our most recent degrees from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I received my Ph.D. in Christian Education, and Chelsea received her Master of Arts in Counseling.

About My Ministry
Resort ministry along the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach began more than 60 years ago, with its original roots being campground ministry. In recent years, the community has been one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in all of the country. With more than 18 million annual tourists and these new families moving in, the Grand Strand is ripe for harvest and desperately needs laborers to share the Good News of Jesus.
Our ministry reaches both tourists and residents alike in our campground ministry. Each week campground services are held either on top of or below the Southeast’s longest wooden pier. Pray God would use us to minister by sharing the Good News and the love of Jesus Christ.
