He continued in this ministry for 6 years before hearing God’s call for him to plant a church to teach, love, and serve the community of Fayetteville. In 2012, he and his wife, Chelsea, picked up and moved to Fayetteville to answer the call. Kirk is our full time teaching elder who also leads our Marriage Coaching program, oversees the day to day of our staff members, and the spiritual health of our leadership team. Kirk and Chelsea live on a farm in Griffin along with their two beautiful daughters, their Australian shepherd (Penny), five horses, and several chickens.
