What we study: The Gospel Project

A Christ-centered, chronological Bible study that walks students through the full storyline of Scripture, Genesis to Revelation, over three years. Students discover how Christ connects every part of the Bible and what the gospel means for everyday life.

Jeremy Echols

Family Pastor

As Family Pastor, Jeremy is stepping in to lead the high school students in this transition period while we search for the right person God has to lead them. Jeremy has a heart for students and a deep desire to see them treasure Christ. He believes the high school years are not just something to get through. They are a season God can use in powerful ways. His hope is simple. He wants every student to know Jesus, grow in their faith, and courageously make Him known.
