BURLESON CHURCH OF CHRIST - Key Persons
I have been the preacher for the Burleson church since February 1996. Prior to this, I worked as an associate with churches in Paris, TN and Prescott, AZ.
I am a native of Dexter, MO and a 1985 graduate of Dexter Senior High School. I am a 1988 graduate of Freed-Hardeman with a B.S. in Agriculture and a minor in Business. While at F-H, I met and married Rhonda Bridges of St. Louis. We have two children, Shelby (Jackson) and Jeffrey; both are FHU graduates, and both are married and teach school in TN. We got our first grandchild (Eloise Jackson) in February 2019. We were blessed with two more granddaughters in 2021. Maisy Clippard was born in May and Eveline Jackson in July. Of all our duties, we love grand-parenting the best!
From the time I was a kid, I always wanted to live in Alabama. And not just in Alabama, but in the very community where I now live. My maternal grandparents were born within five minutes of where I live. When the Burleson church asked me to come work with them, I couldn't have been happier! I was blessed to still have my grandparents living at that time, and they were thrilled!
I have lived a lot of places and preached in many others. I can say that Marion County, Alabama is the best place I've ever lived. We raised our children here and we hope to spend the rest of our days right here.
