Here’s what’s happening at Exodus…

This Sunday, July 13, we will welcome Bryan Robbins. In the gospels it is said of Jesus that he was full of grace and truth…a lamb and a lion…gentle and strong. This is also how Brian Lowe describes Bryan Robbins.

Bryan serves as the lead pastor of Missio Dei Church in Asheville, NC, where he has lived since age 10. In 2007, he helped plant Missio Dei Church serving as both executive pastor and worship pastor. Bryan became lead pastor in 2010 when founding pastor Kurt Hannah was sent out to plant another church in Cincinnati.

Bryan and his wife, Christina, met in their high school chemistry class, were married while in college together in 2003, and are blessed with three great kids: Elijah, Sophia and Ezra. In his spare time, Bryan enjoys playing in the yard with his kids, or tinkering on his motorcycle.

Let’s welcome Bryan as he shares God’s grace and truth with us on Sunday.
