Our Lead Pastor

Originally from Albany, Georgia, Stephen grew up in a broken home where church attendance wasn’t a priority. As a teenager, he came to faith in Christ and soon sensed God’s call to ministry. He married his high school sweetheart, Rebecca, and together God has blessed them with five children: Cade, Cole, Casen, Carrington, and Caylor.

Stephen has served in full-time ministry for over two decades, faithfully leading churches in Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. He is passionate about teaching God’s Word in a way that connects people to Christ and believes the local church is God’s Plan A for reaching the world. With a heart for sharing the gospel, making disciples, and equipping others to do the same, Stephen leads with conviction, humility, and a deep love for the Church. He holds a Master of Divinity from Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary.
