Brian Cost

Brian grew up attending church 3 times a week every week. As an adolescent he admits that he saw church as a mandate and the bible as a rule book. Being the rebellious/against the grain type, he began to question the existence of God. As a married adult with a young child he saw the need for God in the life he, Karen and their child were living. As he began to study more and life’s difficulties came his way, he saw the universal forgiveness of God through Jesus. His focus shifted from “checking boxes” next to the rules to showing others Jesus through his actions. "Life is a journey, as is our spirituality. We should care to grow and grow to care." David is Brian's most influential biblical character because it shows him that God can forgive a multitude of sins. "We can reach the greatest of heights and our sin can still bring us heartache; but, God's forgiveness can bring us back." Brian and Karen live in Centerville with children Tristan (18) and Jillian (15).

Devin Pickard

Devin is a life long Hickman County resident. He married his high school sweetheart, Angie and together they have 3 kids; Kaylee, Jordan, & Ruby. He states that he "was blessed with a great childhood and raised in a wonderful Christian home." Devin has been preaching since the age of 17. He describes his journey as "having many personal valley's and mountaintops." Devin openly admits that he has learned first hand what is to experience God's mercy, grace, and forgiveness. His utmost desire is to convince other people that they too are never beyond the reach of the compassionate hand of a good God. "One of the greatest sensations of the presence of God for me is when I'm spending time with God's good people. It's extremely encouraging to hang out with a host of folks who have tremendous stories of victory over some of the most painful scars that life can dish out. " I feel a strong connection with the Prodigal Son that Jesus spoke of Luke 15. I know what it is to fraternize with the world and then return to the open arms of a loving father.

Craig Cochran

Craig grew up the youngest of 11 children in a home where they did not attend church. At the age of 16 his older siblings invited him to visit a revival at a church they had been attending. It was then that he accepted the Lord as his Savior. "I never really realized the depth of Gods love for me until my sons Christian and Ian were born. " Craig was an ordained deacon at his previous church for 15 years. He and Angie have been serving the Lord through music for 20 + years. Craig is most influenced by the prophet Elijah because even though he experienced great things in Gods name, he still struggled with emotional ups and downs. "I experience Gods presence the most when I am reading the Bible or singing his praises. "
