Rob's Story:
As the third of four children, growing up I would often hear my two older sisters and parents talk about Jesus, and I wanted to know him too. I remember one evening before bedtime going into my parents' bathroom as my mom was curling her hair. I asked her what it meant to be a Christian and she explained God's love for me and how Jesus died in my place so that I could know God. I knelt down right there in the bathroom and prayed for God's forgiveness and involvement in my life. (I tell people that my sins were flushed away!)

That night started a journey with Christ that has been a lifelong pursuit of His leading. After college I spent seven years working for the corporate office of Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, and then in 2006 we moved to the metroplex to pursue a call into full-time Christian ministry. I've served on staff at the Howard Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership at Dallas Seminary and am now excited to be a part of the ministry team at McKinney Church.
