Jeff and Brianna met while attending Liberty University as they were pursuing God’s calling (Jeff for pastoral ministry and Brianna for special education). While engaged to be married, Jeff was called to serve as the senior pastor of Crystal Spring Baptist Church in Roanoke, Virginia, where he and his soon-to- be wife served for eleven years. During that time, Brianna educated children with special needs in the inner city and Jeff completed a Master of Divinity and a PhD in Theology
and Apologetics. God also blessed this family with their three children—Audrey, Henry, and Landry. Six months after Landry was born, he unexpectedly passed away.

This tragedy continues to be overwhelmed by the grace and mercy of the Lord who just a year later paved the way for the Dickson family to adopt a beautiful little girl named Heidi who is now four years old. 

Jeff and Brianna are always eager to point people to the blessed hope of Jesus amid great struggle. This they do as Jeff serves as both the senior pastor at Salem Baptist Church in Goochland, Virginia, and the program director of the PhD in Applied Apologetics at Liberty University, while Brianna homeschools their children where they now live in the greater Richmond area. To God be the glory!
