LEADERSHIP

Our church is led by a team of pastors. While some are staff members and others voluntarily serve, each pastor holds equal weight in leading our church. When someone asks, “Who pastors Pillar Church?” the best answer is “Our team of pastors.”

George is currently pursuing a Master’s of Arts in Biblical Counseling from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. By God’s grace, and through his studies he seeks to grow in ministering to individuals with Gospel-centered care, aiming to point individuals to the goodness and faithfulness of God through Christ.
