At the age of 15, living in a Christian home while his dad was serving in the Army, Barry accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.  From that time until today, he has strived to live a life that would be pleasing in God’s sight and bring honor and glory to Him.  

 

Barry earned his Bachelor of Science from N.C. State University and completed his Master of Divinity at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2009. After spending many years in the business world, he became a licensed pastor in 2006 and was ordained in 2009. 

​

Barry has served in various ministry roles, including Pastor, Director of Missions at Sandy Creek Baptist Association, Church Revitalization Coach with the Baptist State Convention, and Area Director for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. 

​

Barry excels in encouragement, coaching, teaching, missions mobilization, and disciple-making. As a Biblical Life Coach, he aims to help clients focus on their identity in Christ, provide practical steps to achieve their goals, and emphasize soul care through a biblical perspective.
