Sunday Announcements

Welcome to our new Young Adults’ Pastor, Garrett Hall!
Garrett’s first day on staff is tomorrow, June 15th. Garrett is a graduate of Oklahoma State University and Dallas Theological Seminary and brings a passion for God’s Word and reaching people for Christ. Here is quick paragraph Garrett wrote up to get to know him better:

Hi! My name is Garrett Hall and this is my wife, Bri. We’ve been married since July of 2025, have a black lab and golden retriever, and hope to start a family in the coming years. While we are both from the Midwest and Southwest, we are thrilled to join the faithful community of PBC and pastor the young adult community. Our prayer is that our love for Jesus radiates through our words and actions to lead all of us into a deeper discipleship with Jesus. See y’all soon!
