I am a Wife, Momma of 3, and also the lead pastor of The Gathering. Some of my joys are going to the Paw Park and gardening. Yes, my children call me a "plant mom."
My experience in ministry began in 2011, serving at a new church start as a member. In 2012 I felt my calling for vocational ministry and I graduated from SMU, Perkins School of Theology in 2017 with a Masters of Divinity. I then served in Paris for 4 years before moving to Anna in 2021.
Growing up in Wichita Falls I am passionate about building community, loving all things Texas! My path in ministry has included nonprofits, a retreat center, a teacher and missions pastor, campus ministry, and more. I have a Master of Divinity from Notre Dame (and watched a lot of bad football along the way!) and I’m in the process of being ordained as an elder in the UMC. My wife Laulie and I love taking walks with our two pugs and spending time with family and friends.
We have lived in Anna for 10 years, have 5 kids, and 3 dogs. We work for a non-profit helping foster families and children in foster care. We have a passion for being inclusive of all people and would love to get to know you!
I'm Justin and a proud resident of Anna! My wife Allison and I have 2 family run businesses in town (Pack Spirit & Promo Lab). We prioritize volunteering and giving back to local youth. Our mission statement for business and family is to...Give First!
Hello-I'm Matt and I'm the pastor's husband! I'm in recovery so you will often find me at our AA meetings. I love working with the youth, especially when it comes to sports.
