Pastor Rod is from Wausau, FL, and serves as our Executive Pastor and Elder of Discipleship. He has a bachelor's degree in business management from FSU and an MDiv from Liberty focused on theology. He and his wife Herrika have four children, one of whom is married: Brycen and Mikayla, Carson, Edward, and Henley. His family has been at 5 Bridges for many years, and they love to travel and go to the beach. Galatians 2:20 is one verse that always comes to Rod's mind. It says, "I have been crucified with Christ..." What he loves most about ministry is helping others understand what God has said and then applying it to our world and culture. He wants to see people constantly growing in their faith through faithful teaching and application of God's word.
