Justin Woulard, a native of Mobile, Alabama, has been called as pastor of The Bridge Fellowship in Shillington, Pennsylvania.
Woulard, who is currently two credits away from finishing an master of divinity degree from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, previously served in churches in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, West Virginia, and Alabama. While living and studying in New Orleans he worked for various professors, including the Nehemiah Project Church Planting professor, where he help to train and access planters.
He was born on November 22, 1979, Thanksgiving Day, growing up in Mobile and attending Spring Hill Baptist Church, where he started following Jesus in second grade. In high school he began leading in the church, singing in the ensemble and teaching middle school Bible study.
He later attended the University of Alabama where he majored in theater and English literature, before transferring to the University of South Alabama where he graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in English with minors in history and philosophy.
His interests include college football, literature, history, film, music, board games, and comic books. When he grows up he hopes to have the best qualities of some of his heroes; Michael Collins, Han Solo, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Gaiman.
And, of course be as much like Jesus as he possibly can.
