After graduating from York College of Pennsylvania in 2002, Brian became a PGA Golf Professional, working in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Florida and Georgia. While in Georgia, in July 2008, Brian and Stephanie met at an Outback Steakhouse on Saint Simons Island, Georgia....she was his waitress! Through Stephanie and her family, Brian began a relationship with Jesus. Stephanie eventually gave Brian his first Bible in November 2009 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. For the first time, he began reading it for himself, instead of listening to what everybody else was saying about it. He found something far different than what he was accustomed to hearing. He couldn't put it down, and hasn't since! Brian followed a call into pastoral ministry and preaching in 2013 at Riverside Church in Horsham, PA. He was ordained for gospel ministry in 2015, and was equipped, commissioned, and sent to plant Streamsong Church in 2017. Consequently, Streamsong is a church community that is blessed to have been planted out of a healthy foundation of unity and intentionality.
Brian has a heart for The Church. He loves God's people. He loves equipping and discipling and allowing others to lead. He is influenced in his understanding of the Gospel by authors, teachers, and Pastors like Tim Keller, John Stott, Matt Chandler, C.S. Lewis, and Tim Mackie. Stephanie is an Auburn University graduate ('07) and currently a Clinical Dietitian at Jefferson Hospitals ALS Center in Philadelphia. They have two daughters, Mackenzie Mae and Sadie Claire.
Make no mistake, this is not about Brian & Stephanie. This is not a Streamsong story either. This is about Jesus. "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)
