Russell Wyatt, Involvement Minister

Hi, I’m Russell Wyatt, and I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Involvement Minister here at our congregation since April 2022. My journey in full-time ministry began back in June 2008 after finishing up at Freed-Hardeman University, and it’s been a joy to walk alongside others as we grow in faith together.

One of my greatest passions is encouraging and teaching people about God’s word. I love helping Christians deepen their relationship with God and find ways to get involved in our church family.

When I’m not at the church building, you’ll probably find me with a good book in hand, cheering on the 49ers, or watching a Formula 1 race. Fun fact: I also hold a black belt in Tang Soo Do—so if you ever want to talk martial arts, I’m your guy!

I’ve been married to my wonderful wife (Holly) since 2008, and we have two amazing daughters (Addison and Caroline) and a sweet dog named Penny. Whether you’re new here or have been part of our church for years, I’m always eager to connect, chat, and spend time together. Please don’t hesitate to say hello—I’m here to help you get involved and feel at home!
