We are commited to living fully into the life God created us for. We believe in a God of transformation and forgiveness and are thankful to share the hope found in Jesus Christ with the world.

Lou is a native Floridian, born and raised in Melbourne, FL and has faithfully served churches across the state for the past 15 years. Most recently, he held the position of Executive Pastor at a historic downtown church, where he dedicated his efforts to creating new Christian communities beyond the Church's walls. In July 2023, Lou became an Elder in the Global Methodist Church, and is thankful to join this new movement of grace here in Mandarin & Saint Johns.

Together with his wife Melissa, they have two children, Louie and Ruby-Cate. Their family is excited to explore the history and beauty North Florida has to offer. 

Lou obtained his undergraduate degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University, achieved a Master of Business Administration with a focus in Marketing from Florida Institute of Technology, and earned a Masters of Divinity from United Theological Seminary. His involvement extended to being a member of the Seeds Fellowship at Luther Seminary. The Seeds Project is an innovative initiative aimed at nurturing experiments that help individuals uncover the transformative impact of Jesus in their daily lives.

Lou's passion is reaching new people and communities with the hope found in Jesus Christ as he serves the Saint Johns and Jacksonville community.
