In 2006, Bryan (BP) and his family moved to Rome to plant 7HF. A graduate of Covenant Seminary, BP is passionate about equipping people to bring flourishing to our community in every aspect of life. As our beloved lead pastor, BP focuses on casting vision, preaching God’s Word, and meeting new people. He really does want to grab lunch/coffee with you. Growing up in South Carolina, BP enjoys flats fishing, football (soccer and NFL), and Coke in a glass bottle. He has a love/hate relationship with CrossFit, but he and Krista both inspire us in their pursuit of whole-life wellness.
