Sean DeMars
Lead Pastor
The Lord saved me from my sins at eighteen and I haven’t looked back since. (Phil 3:14) After serving five years in the military, the Lord led our family to Peru as missionaries, and then brought us back to the United States in 2015. Amber and I have two beautiful children: Patience and Isabella. When I’m not serving the church, I like to CrossFit, do jiu jitsu, read good books, and tell dad jokes.
Grant Miller
Elder
I have had the joy of serving as an elder at 6th Avenue for several years. 6th Ave is the only church I have ever attended. I once believed at a young age that I knew Christ, but it was only at the age of 24 that I was truly convicted of my need for a Savior, and I repented of my sins and began to trust in Christ in 2008. The Lord has since been very kind to open my eyes to the deep truths of his Word. My wife Alison and I have been married since 2005, and we have four children (Cohen, Micah, Eisley, and Maddux). I work for an engineering company in Huntsville, AL. I love spending time with my family, listening to music, reading, and being with the members of the church.
Will Stephenson
Assistant Pastor
I was raised in a Christian home, but I did not come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ until I was fifteen years old. I still remember the sermon that confronted me with my sin against God. When I realized I was an enemy of God and that He still loved me with such a great love, I repented of my sins and trusted in him for my salvation. I married my high school sweetheart, Jackie, in 2017. I love reading theology, studying the economy, watching the Arsenal Gunners, and spending time with my church family.
Russell Berger
Assistant Pastor
For the first two decades of my life I considered myself an atheist, and was fervent in my rejection of God and the christian faith. In my early 20’s the Lord caused me to experience an overwhelming conviction of sin. In my distress, I turned to the bible, a book I had always rejected but never actually read. In the bible I learned who Jesus really is, repented of my sins, and trusted in him. I have been married to my wife Katherine since 2007 and we have two children. In my free time I enjoy hunting, jiu jitsu, and going fishing with my family.
Luke Hill
Pastoral Assistant
I grew up in a Christian household and was saved at the age of 7 years old. Since then, God has been teaching me everyday what it means to walk with Him. I have an amazing wife Cate, and two beautiful children, Ruth and Michael.
