Reverend Brian Gibson writes:
"My name is Brian Gibson.  I am sixty years old and have been married to Michelle for 32 years.  We met on July 4th of 1992 and were married on September 12th of 1992.  We have three children Adam, Kevin, and Annalise.  We also have four grandchildren Haley, Hagen, Gabby, and Amelia. 

My daughter, Annalise, was the catalyst in my wife and I returning to church.  She was friends with Drew Edwards, son of Joey Edwards, and asked if we could go to her dad’s church.  We attended on that Sunday and our faith journey began.
I began seminary at the age of fifty.  My first professor, Steve Parrish walked in with long hair and sandals and a notebook the size of two Bibles.  Introduction to the Old Testament was begun.  
During my spiritual walk, my wife lost her mother and I lost my brother and mother.  I also lost a great deal of my eyesight to a disease known as optic neuritos.  Those stumbling blocks led me to almost end my faith walk.  If it had not been for Tiffany McClung, Barry Anderson, and Courteney Pace, I would have closed the book on the calling God has told me to take.  I am also grateful the strength my family gave me and continues to give me to this very day."
