WHO WE ARE

OUR FAMILY

Alex and Lauren have been married since 2012 and after having their own radical encounters with Jesus, they both have a heart to see people experience true freedom and love found only in Him. Together they have four amazing, Jesus loving kids that live on mission with them in ministry. As a family they enjoy surfing, boogie-boarding, and beachcombing. 

OUR MINISTRY

Alex has his BA in Ministry and has been pastoring since 2010 in different capacities as a youth, associate, and lead pastor and was ordained in 2014. Lauren is an author and has a BS in Mass Communications and is locally licensed as a pastor and is pursuing ordination. 

Our ministry has been marked by loving a mosaic of hurting people that others had given up on: former gang members & addicts, the racially outcasted, suicidal, and those that had walked away from religion. We’ve seen hundreds find healing and purpose in Jesus through that one encounter with His love. We’re incredibly grateful for the call to bring New Smyrna Beach into an encounter with our loving & powerful Jesus.
