Dr. Greg McFadden Senior Pastor, Minister of Evangelism

Since joining us over 14 years ago, Greg has been diligent in seeking to shepherd the church according to the will of God. That resolve has not faded, and he is now leading us as we expand our focus beyond our local community. Starting with a three county region, Greg’s motivation is to equip every church member to proclaim the truth where they live, not just where they gather for corporate worship.

Greg’s wife, Sheila, loves singing in the choir and teaching a women’s Bible study group, their daughter is active in the youth ministry, and their adult sons can be spotted in the congregation when in town.

Kevin Hamilton Minister of Worship & Music

If you don’t already know Kevin, you’ve probably never been in the same room as him. Always ready to crack a joke, Kevin certainly makes an impression, but his focus is squarely on bringing honor to the Lord. He seeks to live out John 3:30 as he leads the church to do the same; “He must increase, but [we] must decrease.”

Kevin’s wife, Cheryl, sings in the choir and facilitates Beth Moore Bible studies.

Developing disciples that make disciples is the heartbeat of what energizes him. Brad and Dee Dee love to involve themselves in the lives of their 6 kids, 6 in laws, and 11 grandchildren.
