Gavin has been a part of the Woodburn Missionary Church staff since November 2022. Prior to that he served as the high school director at Life Community Church in Bluffton. 

Gavin holds a Master of Arts in Local Church Ministry from Grace Seminary, and Bachelor of Science degrees in both Youth Ministry and Biblical Studies from Grace College. 

Gavin is originally from Bluffton, IN where he grew up working on the farm, but now he and his wife live in Fort Wayne, IN. They have a year-old daughter, named Juna, and a son expected to be born in January 2025. 

Gavin has a passion for the next generation and seeing them grow in their relationship and knowledge of Jesus Christ. It is his hope to partner with the students and parents of WMC as they walk through some of the most formative years, and to direct them towards their Savior."
