I'm Phillip and I have been serving as the lead pastor since 2021. I am the primary teacher, and I help lead the church in helping people find true community with God and with others. I have been married since 2011 to Paula, and have two children, Carson and Adaline. I really enjoy time spent with my family and church, being outdoors, woodworking, and cooking.
