Phil and Susan met as young teenagers. Both had some exposure to church and knew that being involved was something they wanted to prioritize in their lives. After marrying young, they found a church with strong teachers who in time helped them develop a true relationship with Christ.

After that, life wasn’t easy. In fact, their road became difficult—marked by a shocking cancer battle that taught them to trust God and lean on their community during life’s trials.

“I strongly believe whatever it is we are going through, God is using it for a better outcome. We must believe and trust there is something better coming. And community can help people remember that.” - Phillip McCoy
