About My Family

I grew up just 20 miles from Jackson County in Lawrenceville, Ga. For the past 14 years, my wife, Leah, and I have lived in north Buford, which is only 10 miles from Antioch Church’s target area.

The Lord saved me in July 2000 and immediately gave me a desire for pastoral ministry. I received a bachelor’s degree in Christian ministry from Leavell College (NOBTS) and am pursuing an M.Div. through Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. I served on staff at NewBranch Community Church for five years and have a variety of other ministry experience. Most recently, I oversaw NewBranch’s small groups, assisting in preaching, and pastoral care. Since 2021, I have served as a lay elder at NewBranch. Additionally, I have been part of the core group for two different church plants.

Leah and I have been married for 15 years. We have three kids.

About My Church Plant

Antioch Church is being planted out of NewBranch Community Church. As NewBranch reached capacity, the elders and the congregation together discerned that the Lord was leading us to plant a new church just north of NewBranch. Antioch is planting with a strong core team who is committed to reaching the local community.

Our aim is to glorify God by making disciples of all nations. To that end, we hope the Lord will use us to strengthen disciples and to take the gospel to our community. Further, we hope the Lord will allow us to be part of seeing more churches planted and revitalized in the northeast Georgia corridor and to the ends of the earth.

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 as we transition into full-time ministry together. Pray the church will establish a great culture of care that will enable us to go with the gospel. Pray the Lord would make us into a Sending Church that sees other new churches established. Pray the Lord brings leaders who can help within the church. Pray for stamina and longevity for ministry amidst attacks from the enemy.
