Nick has served at FBG since August 2021. He married Kyndra in 2003 and the Lord has blessed them with seven children. Born and raised in Eastern Kentucky, Nick pastored in the Louisville-Metro area for about nine years prior to moving his family to Zimbabwe where he served as a missionary training pastors for nearly 6 years. Nick received his B.A. from Boyce College in 2007 and M.Div from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2010. He is currently a Ph.D candidate in Old Testament Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He enjoys hunting, camping, off-roading, and the occasional round of golf. As a blue-blooded UK fan, he is slowly learning to love UT Vol orange strictly because he loves East Tennessee and its people.

Bryon and Lori joined FBG in October, 1996. The following year, Bryon was asked to consider joining the staff as part-time Youth Minister. He served in that role until 2024, and he now serves bi-vocationally as the Pastor of Missions and Administration. Bryon recently retired from his position of Public Works Director with the City of Sevierville, and now works as an engineer with Charles Blalock and Sons, Inc (a large heavy construction contractor).  He attended the University of Tennessee and obtained a B.S. in Civil Engineering. He also holds a M.Div in Pastoral Care and Counseling from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Bryon and Lori have two grown children: Abby (married to Rod) is a teacher and a coach at Gatlinburg Pittman Junior High School and Wes, a computer engineer with the federal government in Washington, DC. Bryon enjoys spending time with his family, exploring the Smoky Mountains, watching UT sports, farming, and playing pickleball, golf and basketball.
