About Isaiah
(I) Sycamore Story
I was raised in a small West Virginia town by faithful parents who introduced me to Christ as a young child. My mom led me in a prayer of repentance and faith when I was five. I was baptized a couple of years later in believer’s baptism. It was around this time when I first experienced an irresistible call to be a pastor—even though I had little understanding of what it meant at the time.
(II) Ministry
I accepted my first pastoral position in 2019 as worship pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, West Virginia. I served in this role for about three years. While there, I was ordained to the Gospel Ministry on September 26, 2021.
In 2022, God called me and my family to Cross Lanes Baptist Church in Cross Lanes, West Virginia, where I serve as student pastor.
I love serving on mission around the world. I’ve been to Peru and the Czech Republic.
I’m a member of the Executive Board for the WV Convention of Southern Baptists, representing the Pioneer Baptist Association.
(III) Education
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Biblical Studies from Spurgeon College and a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri, on May 5, 2023.

(V) Family & Fun
On November 21, 2020, I married a beautiful girl from my hometown. Her name is Jordon, and we have two adorable boys, Dayton (10/2021) and Shepherd (06/2023).
I enjoy jogging, hiking, playing guitar, and drinking black coffee.
About Jordon
(I) Sycamore Story
Growing up, my life was not ideal. My family was broken, and life was hard. When I was 15 my mother was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer, and she passed away when I was 18. Looking back, I can see God’s hand all over my life. He has used so many broken parts of my story for His glory and good.
I have lived in West Virginia the majority of my life. Although, I have lived in Ohio, Nevada, Tennessee, California and Mississippi, too.
(II) Family & Fun
In 2020, I married my longtime crush, Isaiah. Now we have 2 little boys, Dayton Emmaus and Shepherd Brooks. I stay at home with them both. We have a small flock of backyard chickens.
Along with taking care of little boys and chickens, I enjoy embroidery, cooking, and hiking! Prayerfully, I am doing all of these things to the glory of God. I hope this blog leads us all to make much of Christ.
