Pastor Zachary came to know Jesus in college when he was studying Opera in college and realized his call to ministry shortly after. Since then his greatest desire has been to make the name of Jesus known and ensure the forgiveness found only in Him is shared to the ends of the earth. Pastor Zachary holds a Master of Divinity degree and loves learning and reading.

Pastor Zachary is married to Blair, who is an ICU nurse and passionate follower of Jesus, and together they desire to see the Quad Cities transformed with the message of Jesus’ grace. Zachary’s favorite thing about the CFC is the community of steadfast believers who are committed to Jesus, and the family feel in the congregation!

When not at work, Zachary enjoys hanging out at coffee shops, studying, writing, and cycling. He is a big fan of craft coffees, and loves funky light roasts with odd flavors. He is also a big Harry Potter fan, and proud Hufflepuff. Zachary and Blair are proud foster parents and have opened their home and hearts to six children throughout the years, and have one son, Banner.
