WORSHIP PASTOR

I grew up on a farm in the small town of Bethlehem, NC. Jesus changed my life during my senior year of high school, and I sensed His call to serve the local church vocationally. I went on to attend Liberty University, where I earned my degree in Biblical Studies in 2010.

While at Liberty, I met the love of my life, Charis, and we were married in 2011. She is an incredible mom to our three kids — Judson, Cannon, and Charli-Jo — and faithfully serves our community as a Nurse Practitioner.

We love Fusion City Church and are grateful for a front-row seat to the way God is moving in people’s lives. There’s nothing better than seeing someone encounter Jesus and be changed forever.

TEACHING PASTOR

Brians’s BIO here.

EXECUTIVE PASTOR

I grew up in Concord, North Carolina, and trusted Christ at seven years old at my family’s home church, Forestview Baptist Church. From an early age, God gave me a deep love for His Church and for the truth of His Word.

I later studied apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary, where my passion for defending the faith and teaching Scripture in its original context was sharpened. I’m committed to helping people see what the biblical authors intended and how those truths shape the church today.

My highest calling, however, is at home. My wife, Marie, and I were married in 2002. She is my closest partner in life and ministry, and we are deeply grateful for our daughter, Melanie, and our son, Chase. Investing in my family comes before every role I hold in the church. That conviction fuels my passion to mentor men to lead well in their homes first and then in the Kingdom.

I now serve as Executive Pastor of Fusion City Church, providing leadership for strategy, staff, systems, and volunteer teams. I care deeply about building structures that don’t just support ministry but drive discipleship, especially through kids’ ministry and Small Groups.
