“My wife and I love living in Atlanta. We are so grateful that God brought us together to be a part of His work, bringing people in Atlanta to know Christ. It’s an honor to serve and care for First Baptist Chattahoochee, reaching the church’s surrounding neighborhoods and the rest of Atlanta.

Being raised in a suburb of Atlanta, my church home was North Metro First Baptist. I was pastured by Dr. Frank Cox and was heavily influenced by his dynamic preaching. I also was deeply involved in the youth group serving along side Joseph Yarbrough and Linc Taylor.   It was also there that I surrendered to full time ministry and knew God would use me to lead His church.

During my time at Truett McConnell College, God continued to shape me, developing my passion for Christ and love for His people. As I transitioned from Truett to Georgia State University I had the opportunity to focus my calling in serving at North Metro First Baptist Church.  I spent my time out side of school mentoring the youth, leading music in the main worship time as well as chaperoning several mission trips.

For the past 5 years I have been an active member of 1027 church in the Virginia Highlands.  1027 is a new church plant in Atlanta where I have been exposed to many different areas of church life. The pastor, Tim Wolfe has mentored and led me in an Urban Church Planting Residency.  I have helped to lead in corporate worship, become an elder of the church and preach monthly to the congregation.

I am here to serve the church, help in the community, and see lives changed because of Jesus Christ at First Baptist Chattahoochee.”
