“Cory was born and raised in the hot humid air of Corpus Christi, TX. He has worked in vocational ministry for approximately fifteen years and absolutely loves it. He is passionate about preaching the bible, pastoring people through the ups and downs of life, discipling new believers, and leading relationally. Cory has been married to his better half, Kara, since 2018. They have a cat named Elise and a behemoth long-haired German Shepherd named Spurgeon. When Cory’s not in the office you can find him eating sushi, walking the dog, watching the Washington Wizards lose a basketball game, or holed up in a coffee shop working on his master’s degree.”
