OUR TEAM
AUSTIN WALKER | Lead Pastor
Austin has been fiercely leading our congregation into a relationship with Jesus since the launch of our church in 2015. He believes that one of the greatest callings God has placed on his life is to create spaces where people can find their people. He does that by helping them take their next steps toward deeper community and greater purpose, always reminding them that faith was meant to feel like family and that Jesus belongs at the center of every home.
There are many things that Austin loves in life. Outside of being a follower of Jesus, he is a husband to Calli and a dad to Emerson, Silas and Scarlett. He loves to spend time outdoors, whether he is walking a trail, summiting a mountain, camping in the woods, or just breathing in fresh air with his kids. He holds a deep passion for woodworking, creating with his hands, and building things that will outlast him. He also has an open door and a full table, because one of his greatest joys is gathering people around a meal and watching people grow together.
Austin is energized by meaningful conversation, big dreams, Kingdom vision, and any moment where people realize that God is closer than they ever imagined. He loves seeing people grow, cheering them on, and helping them take one more step toward Jesus and the life they were created for.
