Pastors & Staff

Ally is married to Sam, and they moved to Middle GA in the Fall of 2023. Ally is passionate about pointing children to Jesus and supporting parents as they seek to disciple their children in the faith. Fun fact - Ally was a student athlete (cross country and track and field) at Miami University (OH) and at Lipscomb University. 

Brian grew up in Chino Hills, CA and was raised in the church, but actively started following Jesus in Middle School. He graduated from Azusa Pacific University which is also where he met his wife Amanda. Brian and Amanda got married in 2013 and moved to Aspen, CO where they had three children: Emery, Nora, and Marlow. Brian was the Children and Families Pastor at Crossroads Church of Aspen and was heavily involved in youth ministry through Aspen Valley Young Life for many years. In 2022, Brian and his family moved to Middle GA as God opened up Brian’s dream job, and he became the Youth Director at Sojourn Church. He loves getting to foster relationships with youth, being involved in their world, and helping them navigate their teenage years with a reckless pursuit of Jesus. Brian also enjoys baseball, Cornhole, frisbee, watching football, silly games, but mostly being around others, having fun, and laughing until his cheeks hurt.

Jason was born and raised in Moultrie, GA, and he began loving and trusting in Jesus in high school. He attended GCSU in Milledgeville, GA, where he met his wife Bonnie. Jason and Bonnie were married in 2009 and both began teaching for Bibb County Schools that same year. Two years later they moved to Orlando, FL for Jason to attend Reformed Theological Seminary, where he studied Counseling and Biblical Studies. Jason and Bonnie have three children, Bryce, Blake, and Kelsey Grace. 
Jason graduated from Reformed Theological Seminary in May 2014 and joined the Sojourn Church leadership team in July 2014. For three years he practiced as a professional counselor at Sojourn. In August of 2017 he transitioned from a focus on counseling to the position of Director of Preaching and Head of Staff. 
Most of his free time is spent hanging out with Bonnie or wrestling with Bryce, Blake, and Kelsey Grace. He also enjoys reading a good book, fishing, and watching or playing a variety of sports.

Josh grew up in Conyers, GA and God rescued him at an early age. In 2007 he married his bride Meghan, and God has since blessed them with four children: Samiah, Christiana, Jolene, and J.R. In 2012 they spent a year in Nashville seeking God’s will and direction for Josh as a musician. It became clear that his passion and calling consisted of leading worship in the church and playing for prisoners and men recovering from drug addiction. It goes without saying that Johnny Cash is Josh’s greatest musical influence. He also feels called to write songs for the local church that tangibly lead people through pain and into hope in the gospel. In the summer of 2013, God brought Josh and his family to Sojourn Church and they are glad to call Middle GA their home.

Lee still lives in his hometown of Cochran, where both he and his wife, Kim, grew up. They were high school sweethearts and married after graduating from college, Kim from the University of Georgia and Lee from Georgia Tech. The Holy Spirit used a season of struggling with infertility to increase their faith in God and their affections for Jesus. After five years and many prayers, God blessed them with a son, Christopher, and again six years later with a daughter, Holly. Lee is employed at Robins AFB and in his free time enjoys a wide variety of activities including tent camping and hiking in the North Georgia mountains, barbecuing and grilling, and DIY projects around the house. One of Lee's greatest joys as a pastor of Sojourn Church is simply witnessing God at work to call people to Himself and transform them through the application of the gospel to every area of life.

Richard was born at Travis AFB, CA and lived in seven different states and two countries throughout his childhood. He was raised in the church but began trusting Jesus in middle school. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame, where he met his wife Emily, and commissioned into the Air Force in 2004. Richard and Emily were married in 2009 and have been blessed with two children, Sophia and James. In December of 2023 Richard and Emily felt a call into ministry prompting Emily to accept the position of Director at Christ School in Warner Robins and Richard to retire from the Air Force after a 20 year career. Richard then joined the Sojourn leadership team as Director of Operations in February of 2025. He loves teaching people about the hope we have in Christ and watching as they experience the sufficiency of God’s love in real, tangible ways. He also enjoys keeping active with his wife and kids, playing sports, or hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains and, of course, watching Notre Dame football.
