Zach NicholsonSenior PastorAfter finding his way to the greater Houston area from Louisiana, Zach earned both an undergraduate and graduate degree in Theology from Houston Baptist University. During his studies God extended grace upon grace to Zach by allowing him to marry the love of his life, Crystal. They have three children. Caleb is their only son and he has two younger sisters: Hannah and Sophia. Zach and Crystal believe their greatest ministry is to disciple these three children into surrendered followers of Jesus Christ. In addition to serving as Pastor in several Texas churches, Zach has served as an Adjunct Professor at Houston Baptist University in the School of Theology. In his free time he enjoys reading, cooking and family time. He also enjoys watching a wide variety of sports, but has given up all hopes of becoming a professional athlete.
