When you first see Bart, you’ll probably mistake him for just another high school student. Growing up as a child of the 80’s, Bart was riddled with energy, parent-teacher meetings, and talking way too much. 12 years ago, that all seemed to translate quite well as he entered the world of youth ministry as a pastor in the local church. And immediately, a mission for students as well as families began to stir in his heart. But, the next 6 years would be a journey quite different than expected - full of wounds, depression, anxiety, and a broken marriage - but from the bottom up, there’s a powerful story of God’s restoration and redemption.
Bart and his wife Melissa live in Memphis, TN. Before pursuing Kingdom Driven & Parents Geeks & God full-time, Bart served for the past 4 years as the Pastor to Students at a young church-plant started by Germantown Baptist Church, called TLC (The Love of Christ) Church along with Senior Pastor, Dana Key, and Worship Pastor, Clay Crosse. During these 4 years, Bart experienced a church of 18 single adults grow to over 500, full of families, and with close to 100 middle school & high school students.
