Timmy Burnette : Elder / Lead Pastor
Pastor Timmy wears many hats. He is a husband, father, pastor, and church planter. Timmy met his wife Beth in 2001 during a student event. Timmy and Beth have three amazing daughters (Emma, Macy, Lottie) and one son (Shepard). Pastor Timmy feels called to pastor and plant gospel centered churches.

Timmy’s desire for the church at large can be found in Colossians ….
