Meet oUR PASTOR

Pastor Karl Bibbens didn't grow up as sheltered from life's harsh realities. He was raised in Baltimore City, where survival often meant making tough choices and where your zip code could determine your destiny. He knows what it's like to navigate systems that weren't built for you, to face struggles that test everything you believe about yourself and the world around you.

But his story didn't end with his struggles—it was transformed by them.

At a critical turning point, his wife spoke truth into his life with a love that wouldn't let him settle for less than God's best. Her unwavering belief in who he could become helped him see a future beyond his circumstances, and together they made the decision to walk a different path.

Through his darkest moments, God met him right where he was. No conditions, no cleanup required. That encounter changed everything. It gave him a second chance, a new purpose, and a calling that he couldn't ignore: to be for others what someone was for him. To see potential where others see problems. To offer hope where others offer judgment.
