BEING BIARS

We're starting a church in Fayetteville, Arkansas!

It was January 28, 2017. While attending a missions conference at our church, Megan had a hunch that God may be calling us to move to Fayetteville, AR to help launch a new church.

Independently, I had also thought that perhaps we would move to Fayetteville one day, though I had kept it to myself until then.

Of course, we shelved all of this at the time, thinking maybe in ten years we would do such a thing. Megan was still in school, I was working two jobs, and we were swimming in nearly $100,00 of student loan debt.

Yet, within three months, we were 100% debt-free. Within five, Megan had graduated with a Master's in Accounting. And within a year ... we had nearly forgotten about Arkansas!

After all, we were only 22 at the time thus and had no avenue to start a church. So instead, we focused on what we could see.

Megan crushed her CPA exams and jumped into work as an auditor, and I joined our college ministry staff full-time. By spring of 2018, we were itching to lay down our roots in Bryan / College Station by buying our first home.

Then we had another one of those 'senses' - don't buy a house yet. We weren't sure why, but we both felt like maybe the timing wasn't quite right.

Well, within a few weeks, the man who married us told us he and his family would be moving to start a church in Fayetteville, and that they wanted us to be their college pastors. The rest is history!

The Local Church Is The Hope Of The World

Time and time again, Megan and I have experienced the transformational impact the local church can ignite in the lives of its people, city, and world.

The local church taught us how to read the Bible, have a personal relationship with God, share the Gospel, and how to teach others, too. The local church empowered us to break off deep-seated addictions and to develop Godly character. The local church equipped us to lead a pure and fulfilling marriage, to steward our finances rightly, to exercise and eat healthily, to experience deep friendship, and to work hard with integrity.

The local church even showed us how to stand up for the underprivileged and reach out for the ends of the earth to know this same love of God. And as if that weren't enough, we've seen the local church do the same things in literally thousands of others! Without a doubt, the church has been the difference maker in our lives, and we don't want it to stop with us!

We've become so convinced of the worth of this cause that we're uprooting our entire lives to further it. Jesus is building His Church in Fayetteville and around the world, and it's through His Church that He is changing people and societies for the better. We want to be a part of that story!

They say it takes a village to raise a child, and if that's true, then it takes a small city to raise a church! Truly, our family's move to Fayetteville is just one piece of the puzzle, and every piece has to come together in order for this endeavor to be successful. Some other factors in this equation include prayer, financial, and relational support. If you believe in this mission or in us as couple, would you join our team?
