BRIAN FROM
LEAD PASTOR
I grew up in New Jersey before coming to Illinois to go to Wheaton College. I graduated from Wheaton in 1999 with a degree in Communications and Bible/Theology, and later got a Masters at Wheaton in Biblical Studies. But the most important thing that I found at Wheaton was my wife Carrie, and we were married in January 2000. Carrie and I have three children - Madeline, Jackson, and Emily, and a dog named Shea. I was blessed to work at Glen Ellyn Bible Church as the Youth Pastor for 5 years and as the Adult Ministries Pastor for another 5 years. In February 2010, we left Glen Ellyn Bible Church, moved our family to Downers Grove, and started Four Corners. This has been an amazing journey and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
In my free time, I love to play golf, watch sports, relax on our hammock, and most of all, play with our children. I look forward to getting to know you; send me an e-mail and we can set up a time to grab coffee and talk about life.

It was a dream come true when we first learned of FCCC planting a church right in our area! Our church has such a strong sense of community. I so love that! We love how warm and genuine everyone is and we just adore our neighborhood group! It is also such a blessing to watch our boys grow and be part of this church family! It is both an honor and a blessing to work with such amazing people at FCCC! Oh yeah, and I'm a crazy dog lover!
