Pastor Irby & fam.jpg

Hello

Pastor Brian Irby was born in Springfield, IL to Alan and Paula Irby.  Pastor Irby fell in love with Jesus when he was 17 years old and soon after answered the call to ministry and enrolled as a Theology major at Oakwood University in Huntsville, AL.  While serving the Lord in ministry at Oakwood, he fell in love with the former Carolynn Bishop and they were married in August 2010.

The Irby’s prayer has always been that God would use them as a unit in such a way, that would not be possible were they not together. Pastor Irby is a proud graduate of Oakwood University, with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Theology. Following his undergrad studies Pastor Irby served as a teacher at Carolina Adventist Academy (CAA) in Whiteville, NC along with Carolynn his wife.
