Justin Garcia
Justin grew up in a church that failed to take God’s word for what it is: God’s word. Even as a high school student, he saw there was something inconsistent and disingenious with this way of follwing a God we claim to be All-powerful, All-wise, and sovereign. This began his trek to be educated in the knowledge of God. Justin desires and loves to see God’s people grow in love of their God by knowing Him more deeply through His word. Justin and his wife Lacy were married in 2013 and shortly thereafter joined MHBC. They are currently seeking to raise their 3 children well alongside their church family.
