Brian and Christi have been connected and serving alongside GCN for almost 20 years.

Brian is the lead Pastor at Lifepoint Church in Longview, Texas. Christi is a public-school Administrator for Longview ISD. They started Lifepoint in 2003 with the Great Commandment principles learned specifically at a G6 retreat earlier that year that was gifted to them. They have joined the GCN ever since in a variety of ways, including hosting various opportunities for leadership training as well as speaking, training, and presenting with various resources and curriculums developed through relational press.

Lifepoint is a Church that is based on a “Solomon’s Porch” approach and model that is ultimately designed to be what most people now call a shared spaced-location. This approach is a focused effort to bring Church, Community, businesses, and non-profits together to share space and time together. Currently Lifepoint shares space with a full-functioning fitness Center, Cross-fit gym, business center, rentable offices and meeting place used by various groups from the community, including non-profit organizations.

Brian and Christi have 4 children in their 20’s, 1 Daughter-in-law, but no grandchildren YET. They also have focused personally on reaching out to local and area college students/Young adults as a call to help them transition into mature Disciples and Church leaders.
