McKenzie was born and raised in the small town of Kershaw, South Carolina and was saved as a young teenager. From that point forward, he noticed a desire to learn and grow in the things of God and an interest in the ministry. After high school, he attended the University of South Carolina Lancaster where he played soccer for one year. In 2017, he began attending Fruitland Baptist Bible college where he earned an A.A in Religious Studies and Christian Ministry—this is what brought him to the Asheville area and then to CBC. Shortly after this, in July of 2019, he married his wife, Abby. He is currently continuing his education online at Spurgeon College while he serves on staff here at CBC as a Pastoral Assistant.
McKenzie is into hanging with friends, South Carolina Gamecocks football, and running. He and Abby look forward to growing their hiking and tent camping experience.

Jason grew up in a Christian home with parents who love the Lord.
Due to his dad’s job, his family moved numerous times during his childhood. Eventually, they ended up in Greenville, SC, which led to Jason going to Clemson University for undergrad. Most importantly, he met his beautiful wife Jennifer at Clemson.
Jason went on to serve as an Infantry Officer with the Army before pursuing medical school; afterward, he remained on active duty as an Emergency Medicine Physician.
While in the military, Jason served primarily in the Special Operations Community, both stateside and abroad.
During that season, he was privileged to minister as an elder in their local church for four years.
Jason and Jennifer moved back to the Asheville area to be close to family and friends who, in the Lord’s providence, are also a part of CBC.
They have four children: Grace, Seth, Gabriel, and Selah.
As a family, they enjoy Clemson football, anything that involves swimming, s’mores, and time together with friends and each other.
