Paul’s bio

Lynn Costin Marshall joined our Church staff in 2019. She earned a business degree in Hospitality from Georgia State University and has been planning events for 25 years. She is passionate about serving in missions and working with teenagers! Her love for God and passion for building relationships with students is why she loves ministry.

In her free time, you’ll find her hanging out with her twin boys Costin and Jacob and husband, Brian along with many other youth from our community. She is happiest when her house is full of students from her youth group.

Please welcome our new Children’s Director, Laura Barkalow! Laura is coming back to work after a fairly extended time of chasing babies and volunteering in schools and churches. She has a masters degree in education and has worked in children’s ministry and as a public school teacher, even though her own children like to remind her that that was during the 1900s. She loves to paint, look for seashells, and teach kids about the love of Jesus.
