Meet Our Team

Brett was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. After completing a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of Central Oklahoma, he moved to New Orleans to pursue a Masters of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS). In God’s timing, he met his wife Bre on the banks of the Mississippi River, and they were married in 2018.

While in the middle of pursuing a PhD in Old Testament/Hebrew at NOBTS, the Lord made the way for Brett to serve as the senior pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in the Summer of 2022.

Brett’s hope is to raise up disciples of Jesus who themselves go on to make disciples. Brett and Bre have two small children.
