Born and raised in Indiana, Colton married Rachel in 2016 and soon felt a distinct and sudden call away from his previous career plans into church ministry. He finished his undergraduate degree in Food Science at Purdue University in 2018 and, following graduation, he and Rachel moved to Mississippi to enroll at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson for his MDiv which he completed in 2021.
During his time there, he served the youth at New Covenant Presbyterian Church in Summit and First Presbyterian Church in Yazoo City. He accepted the call to Baton Rouge in 2021 and was ordained and installed as a pastor soon thereafter. Colton loves hiking, reading, drinking coffee, painfully rooting on his Boilermakers, and generally doing anything that involves his family. And as should go without saying, he loves this church and has a heart to see children, teens, and parents grow in depth and maturity of faith in Christ.
