Bart comes to us from Lynchburg, VA, where he has been the Pastor/Head of Staff at Quaker Memorial Presbyterian Church. His roots originated in Fayetteville, AR, but over the years, they have spread to include CA, MS, TN, and NC, places he and his family have called home. Bart’s extensive business background and his call and experience in ordained ministry have given him a rich and unique perspective on servant leadership within a church. Bart has a strong calling to help people learn and embrace being the hands and feet of Christ to the world. He practices this by being involved in local and international missions. Bart has a long-standing relationship with a non-profit in Haiti. A country he has visited many times.

Bart enjoys spending time with his family, camping, hiking, fly fishing, tennis (or Pickleball), reading, and sports. Bart’s wife, Suzy, has a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Columbia Theological Seminary and is a certified Christian Educator. Suzy services as MPPC Director of the Children's Ministry. They have two adult children. Their son, Rollie, lives in Charleston and works in corporate financial analysis, and their daughter, Carter Lee, also lives in Charleston and works in public relations. They have a Golden Retriever named Lady.
