Drew and Emma met at Emma's cousin's wedding in Georgia. The two married in 2020. They have since had two wonderful sons, Graham and Silas.

 

​Drew has a Masters in Church Planting from Liberty University and a Finance degree from UGA. He also spent seven years with Cru ministering to college students on the campuses of the University of Alabama, North Carolina State, USC Upstate, and others. Today, he works full-time for Interstate Foam and Supply as their Cost Accountant.

Emma has a music and worship degree from Liberty University specializing in songwriting and artistry. She also served with Cru for three years alongside Drew. Today, she is a freelance writer for the Salem Web Network, but her greatest joy is her role as a wife and mother.

 

The Rennos enjoy connecting people into genuine community, staying active with their children, game nights, pickleball, visiting the mountains, and coffee shops.

Garrett and Gracie got married in 2018, just before moving to Charlotte, NC. There, they went to a home church and fell in love with church around a table or living room. The community was incredible, not perfect, but a refreshing, rediscovery of what church can be like. 

​

They moved back home to Hickory during covid, where they began to serve and get involved with a church plant. There, many skills were learned, and eventually Garrett served as interim pastor. ​

​​

Garrett and Gracie have a heart for children and family. They have grown their family through biological children as well as adoption through the foster care system.

The Fergusons love the outdoors, fishing, animals, and are always up for an adventure.
