Pastor Shawn was born in Anniston, Alabama in 1970. From a very early age, he had a strong passion for God, and desired to show people how to experience the goodness of God through the simple message of Jesus. In 1986, Shawn met his wife Andrea, at church, and they were married in the summer of 1988. Andrea was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and graduated from Shades Valley High School. They have two sons, Caleb and Nathanael. Caleb married his wife Jessica in December of 2008, and Nathanael is attending the University of Alabama Birmingham. Andrea also serves the city of Moody as the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce, and our pastors and their family are very involved in community services. Pastor Shawn is also a pilot, managing and piloting two corporate airplanes for ten business men in the Birmingham area.

Pastor Shawn has a rich background of experience in ministry. He graduated from Ministers Training Institute in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He has been on mission trips to Haiti, Mexico, Turks and Caicos, and Puerto Rico. In February 1996, World Victory Church was started in the living room of our pastor's home with just a handful of people, and it has grown to see the ministry purchase two buildings with 4 acres in April of 2007. Because of the vision, the ministry is planning on buying 20+ acres to build a 1200 seat auditorium with a gymnasium and family center.

Our Pastors have the vision of seeing every person completely free from sickness, debt, worry, fear, and any other bondage that Satan tries to bring. Because of this, they teach the uncompromised Word of God, and show by their lifestyle how to have victory in every area of life.
