Lead Pastor

Shannon and Kristia Greer are no strangers to Chattanooga.  Kristia spent the largest portion of her childhood growing up in the “Scenic City.”  Shannon fell in love with the city while attending Lee University just up the road.  After he graduated from college Shannon moved to Israel where he served as a volunteer in benevolent ministry and a youth pastor at an international congregation in Jerusalem for four years.

Halfway during his time in Israel, Shannon married Kristia in Chattanooga, and they moved to Israel for two more years.  Before returning to the U.S. in 2001 they had their first of three daughters, Makenzie, whom Shannon says was the best souveneir they could possibly bring home.

After returning to the U.S., Shannon and Kristia lived for a year in his hometown of Christiansburg, Virginia and moved back to Chattanooga in 2002, where he worked for Ministry to Israel.  In his role as Church Relations Coordinator, Shannon had the opportunity to visit countless churches and pastors.  During this time Shannon began to identify a calling into pastoral ministry.

In the fall of 2006 Shannon, Kristia, Makenzie and their two youngest daughters, Madilynn and Josie moved to Daphne, Alabama where he served as Ministries Pastor at Bay Community Church.  Serving in this pastoral role at a young, progressive, and culturally relevant congregation provided learning opportunities that will positively shape Shannon’s leadership as a lead pastor of a new, life giving church in Chattanooga.
