LEAD PASTOR

Hello! Thank you for taking a few moments to get to know Grace Fellowship. If you’re searching for a church home, returning to church after some time away, or simply exploring questions about faith, I want you to know that you’re welcome here.

One of the things I love most about Grace is that people come from every imaginable background and season of life. Some arrive with a deep faith foundation. Others come carrying doubts, questions, hurts, or disappointments. No matter your story, our desire is simple: to help you encounter Jesus and discover the life He created you to live.

A little about me. I’ve spent more than two decades helping build and lead local churches across the country, but my greatest calling isn’t being a pastor, it’s following Jesus. He has transformed my life in more ways than I can count, and it is my privilege to spend my life helping others experience His grace, hope, and freedom.

I’m married to my incredible wife, Diane, and together we’ve been blessed with two amazing children, Kyndel and Chase. Our family loves spending time together, laughing often, and making memories whenever we can. They are one of God’s greatest gifts in my life.
I grew up in Atlanta, studied ministry at Lee University, and have had the opportunity to serve churches in different parts of the country. Through every season, one thing has remained constant: God changes lives. I’ve watched Him restore marriages, heal broken hearts, bring purpose to wandering lives, and draw people to Himself in ways that still leave me in awe.

At Grace, we believe the local church is God’s primary vehicle for bringing hope to the world, and we are passionate about helping people take their next step with Christ. You’ll quickly discover that we take Jesus seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We love to laugh. We love people. We love our community. And we genuinely believe the best is yet to come.

Most importantly, we want you to know that Grace Fellowship is not built around a pastor, a personality, or a program. It is built around Jesus. He is the hope of the world, the head of His church, and the reason we do everything we do.

Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or looking for a church family to call home, we’d love the opportunity to meet you personally.
