Zack’s heart is that the youth of the world would not only know Christ as their personal Savior but experience daily the abundant life that is found only through Christ.

Somewhat of a local boy, Zack grew up in Navasota TX, just down the road. Becoming a Christian at the age of eighteen at Young Life’s Frontier Ranch in Colorado was the beginning of his spiritual journey. In college, Zack majored in Biomedical Sciences and was on his way to Veterinary School here at Texas A&M when the Lord once again tugged at his heart. In 1997, forgoing medicine and entering ministry, he found himself as the Young Life intern at Bryan High School for the next two years. Following the internship, Zack worked locally while still volunteering with high schoolers at Bryan High. In 2001, after attending Grace Bible for several years, he decided to begin working with kids in the church. In the spring of 2002, Zack was offered the position as youth pastor.

"The stretch of time from junior high to high school is a crucial time in the spiritual lives of these youth. They are in the process of discovering for themselves what they believe. What or who will be their greatest influence?"
