Phillip and Katie met for the first time in the Fall of 2020. And their love story began. God used a difficult time in both of their lives to bring them together. They were married on January 1,2022. Phillip had been in ministry since 2017 and was currently pastoring a church in rural Adams County. A year into the marriage, God made a bold and distinct call on both of their lives. “Plant a church”.
They began in their living room on Thursday nights with a group of 15 people. A month into their meetings, a local church contacted Phillip with an offer. “We are closing and want to donate our building to you.” Phillip and Katie accepted the offer, after much prayer. In June of 2023, they were handed the keys to a church campus that sits on 4 acres of land. In September of 2023, Phillip was accepted into the 242Network’s Church Planter program.
