Pastor Anderson Barnes was born and raised in Pikeville, North Carolina. He was licensed to preach at the age of 18 in 2010 and was ordained through the Western Conference in 2013. From an early age, Anderson sensed God’s call on his life and has had a passion for seeing people come to know Jesus, grow in their faith, and discover their purpose in Christ.

Pastor Anderson is passionate about reaching students and families with the Gospel and creating environments where people can encounter Jesus, build authentic relationships, and grow deeper in their faith. He believes the local church is called not only to reach people for Christ but also to equip them to live out their faith every day. His heart is especially focused on helping the next generation discover that they have a purpose and a place in God's story. Outside of ministry, Pastor Anderson enjoys spending time with his family, being involved in the community, and cheering on his favorite teams. He is married to Danielle, who serves as a Media Coordinator at Rosewood Elementary. They are the proud parents of twin daughters, Emma Claire and Sophia Grace.
