MEET THE MEMBERS
Founder
Shaun McLaughlin
A husband, father of three, teacher, and camp director, was baptized as an adult on New Years Eve 2023. Shaun began his journey following Christ in 2021 after searching for a church to call home for him and his family. Two days after the birth of his third child, his wife Megan, was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. It was then that Shaun latched to his faith, surrendered himself to Christ, and never looked back. Throughout this difficult season he has found a peace that makes no sense, a desire to share his experience and a hope that he can help other men in similar situations.

A husband, father of two boys and a loyal friend accepted Jesus as his savior as a young man. Chase struggled to find his place and lost his way but reconnected with the Lord. It was through the grace of the Lord that helped Chase become a better man. Growing up in a divided household and recently losing a parent led Chase to seek guidance from the Lord. Since then, Chase has been strengthening his relationship with the Lord, serving men in need and leading them to the Gospel.
