Joshua Chatman
Pastor
I was born and raised in the Dallas area. I grew up attending church but did not believe in Jesus Christ for salvation. I attended the University of North Texas and became a Christian during my senior year in college. During my junior year of college, I began regularly reading the Bible and going to church. However, I didn’t become a Christian until a year later when at home one day, the Lord brought passages such as Galatians 5:19-21 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 to mind and I was convicted of my sin and knew that I needed a Savior. I repented of my sin and believed the gospel. After college, I moved to Memphis, TN to go through the Downline Institute. Later I worked at Harvest Church, then moved to Alexandria, VA to participate in a pastoral internship at Del Ray Baptist Church. After the internship, I served as an Assistant Pastor at DRBC. I graduated with a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in spring of 2020. I am joyfully married to my wife, Stephanie. We have one son, Jayce, and two girls, Braylee & Brielle.
John Sarver
Pastor
I was born in Los Angeles but moved around quite a bit before our family settled in the Dallas area. Though I grew up hearing the gospel I did not believe in Christ until my junior year of high school when my social studies teacher shared the gospel with me. By God’s grace I understood my sin, my separation from God, and Christ’s redeeming work on my behalf. During my undergrad at Oklahoma State I met my now wife of twelve years, Jessica. We have four children—Haddon, Pavey, Josie and Jane. I have a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and am PhD candidate at SBTS. If I’m not with my kids, I’m probably reading a book or grilling.

Mario Hoyle
Pastor
I was born and raised in Memphis, TN. I grew up attending church with my mother at a very young age. However, I didn’t come to know Christ until the summer of my eighth-grade year through the faithful ministry of my youth pastor during Vacation Bible School. In the Lord’s kindness, I became convicted of my sins and turned to Jesus, believing His saving work for me. Though the walk has not always been easy, Philippians 1:6 comes to mind as I think about the Lord’s faithfulness and His continued work in my life. After college, I moved back to Memphis, where I worked in education, serving in various roles. I’ve been married to my wife, Courtney, for four years, and we have two sons, Wilson and Ellis. When I’m not hanging out with family, I usually like to do yard work, play basketball, read a good book, or watch/talk about sports with friends.
Luke Matzke
Pastor
I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. I grew up attending a faithful gospel preaching church, and heard the gospel proclaimed frequently within my household. Despite these things, I did not come to know the Lord until my junior year of high school through the faithful ministry of a youth pastor at my local church. In the Lord’s kindness, I became convicted of my sin, and understood my need for a Savior. I repented of my sin, and believed solely upon the gospel of Jesus Christ for my salvation. After college, I moved to Memphis, TN where I’ve served in various educational roles over the last 9 years. I am exceedingly grateful to be married to my wife of 8 years, Clarissa. We have three children - Addilyn, Lainey, and Mae.
