Wife: Allison. Children: Brock (8), Chloe (4).

My Story: I felt called to be a minister in high school, but did not really consider full-time ministry until I served in the Philippines and taught in high school. During that time, I felt God leading me to go to seminary, which led me to move to Fort Worth and attend Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. I had the opportunity to serve at two fabulous churches: First Baptist Euless and Prestonwood. While serving at Prestonwood the Lord impressed upon my heart and my family's hearts to begin a new church in 2002. We moved to Lantana and started the Church at Lantana, which later changed names to RockPointe Church.

Something Most People Don't Know: I was a high school teacher and football coach before going to seminary.

My Trademark Expression: "Sin makes you stupid."

Besides the Bible, my recommended reading would be: My Utmost for His Highest (Chambers), Celebration of Discipline and Devotional Classics (Foster) and anything by C. S. Lewis.

In my free time, I usually: Spend time with my family and coach or attend my son's sporting events.

Married to: Gary Perdue

My Story: I grew up in a single parent home with a mother that was never around/involved in my life. A godly woman invested her time in me and began taking me to church with her family…..and so the story goes.

My Family: Husband, Luke; Son, Gage

My Story: I spent several years working with Senior Adults as an Alzheimer Unit Director and Admissions Director. I love senior adults and still spend time with them today, but God began to grow my love and my heart to include children. As a result, I received my teacher's certificate and went to work with students in Special Education for a year. God blessed us with a baby boy at the end of that year. After staying home with Gage while he was young, we both started school together-- he as a kindergartner, and I as a teacher. I've spent the last five years at Liberty Christian School with sweet kindergartners and first graders. One of the greatest joys in the past ten years of volunteer children's work in my previous church home as well as career work in school has been to watch children come to different levels of understanding as to who God is and how He fits into their lives as someone who TRULY loves them. The calling of
" ministering to children" happened long ago, but the reality of this job at RPC is that it doesn't feel like a job at all-- but an opportunity to get to do something I love EVERY single day.

My Family: Wife Cathy, Children: Jennifer (10), Austin (7), Jordan (10 mos.).

My Story: My extended family is my church and I serve because this is the place God has called me to be. My God-provided gifts match a need the church has and the church allows me to serve here. When RockPointe was still called the Church at Lantana, we had about 75 people attending and were meeting in a school cafeteria, my family started attending and we quickly got plugged into a small group led by David Glass (who is still a great friend today). Then I connected with the church softball team where I could build some new relationships and my wife and I also began serving in the children's area. Along the way, my wife mentioned to Allison Holton that I played guitar and sang in college. It wasn't long before Ron gave me the opportunity to dust off my old guitar and start helping out with worship, singing harmony, and playing guitar here and there as needed to support the existing worship leader, Michael Armstrong (a great mentor and friend). When Michael pursued another calling, I was allowed the opportunity to step into the role of recruiting volunteer musicians, setting up rehearsals and selecting the songs that aligned with Sunday's message, on a temporary basis. Ron, after much reflection and prayer I'm sure, saw that I was growing stronger in faith and in the confidence necessary to lead people into worshipping God through music and gave me the role of senior worship leader on a more permanent basis. For me, I wasn't sure I would be worthy enough, talented enough, or even spiritual enough to lead this area, but God has been there each step of the way to assure me that He can use me at this time and He'll bail me out when I'm in over my head (a frequent occurrence). Fast forward to today, I look back now and see how God has grown me so rapidly every step of the way, never giving me too much that I would fail, but certainly stretching me in areas of faith, knowledge and priorities. I am thankful that God led us to this place at this time to be a part of RockPointe's worship arts ministry. God has given me as an individual and as a father and husband so many blessings that I am amazed at His grace towards a pit dweller like me. God has so many wonderful opportunities for our church going forward that I can't wait to see what He does next.

Something Most People Don't Know: My wife brought a coupon along on our first date and I was hooked from that moment on. She has been, and continues to be, my best friend. She helps me to smell the roses and take in God's creation all around us. I would be lost without her and I'm so glad that God has become the foundation upon which our marriage is based. Her faith is amazing and so is her smile. (Most people actually do know that last part).

My Trademark Expression: "It is what it is" and "Let's call a duck, a duck."

Occasionally my daughter and I get go do a father/daughter date complete with a Mani/Pedi (she gets/I watch) and my older son and I like to go fishing, hiking and play basketball. My wife and I, every so often, get in our couples downtime at the Gaylord Hotel with massages at their wonderful spa and eating a relaxing breakfast at their world class buffet.

Spouse: Holly

Children: Shaelee (10), Rylee (7), Silas (5), Levi (2)

Calling/Story: When I was a junior in high school, I was listening to a sermon at my church on a Sunday night entitled "How To Know If You Are Called Into Ministry As A Vocation." Every single point that the pastor made was what I had experienced or was feeling. God used that night to confirm in my heart what He had been doing inside me for some time.

My Story: My husband and I struggled for 10 years with infertility. I fully believe children are a gift from God and nothing makes me happier than to pour Jesus into them.

My Family: Wife Yvonne. Children: Annaka (12), Amanda (10).

My Story: I have always sung for as long as I can remember, but I didn't "worship" truly until I cried out to God out of my pain in worship over the tragic death of a friend. It was then that I connected with God in a very real and intimate way. It was then that the understanding of worship as " a lifestyle of obedience to God in everything" became a overarching principle for me.

My Story: I was strongly impacted by volunteer and paid student pastors at a time when my father was not active in my life. As a High School senior, I felt a spiritual calling to full time vocational ministry. At that point I wasn't sure what that role would be (Senior Pastor? Students?). Outside of that sense of calling in 1994, my greatest lesson learned is that calling is a journey. Although I still don't know why I took all those AP Science classes, the Lord has allowed me to see how my time, interests and even personality can be surrendered to God's bigger story.

Blake and I were married in 2003 and were blessed with our children in 2004 and 2005. In 2009 after over a year of prayer, we decided that I would stop working in the capacity I was in and focus on our family. I began volunteering heavily with the Children's Ministry at our (former) church and at our children's schools. Additionally, I began work with Traffick911 (an anti-human trafficking organization). After 15 years at our previous church home, God moved us to RockPointe and opened up an opportunity for me to work here. I have always had a heart for children and teens and feel so fortunate that God has called me to work with them.

In college as I was studying to be a doctor, the Lord called me to full-time vocational ministry.

During that weekend, we had a ''light bulb'' moment where God clearly called us to pursue opportunities for equipping couples to experience life-long, thriving, and God-honoring marriages. Over the years while serving full-time with FamilyLife, our efforts became more focused on serving the local church through marriage ministry.
