Adam Hoagland
Adam was born and raised in Indiana and graduated from Purdue University with a degree in construction management. It was during his college years that God rescued him from the dominion of darkness and gave him the desire to honor and serve Christ. In 2009 Adam moved to Northern Virginia to begin working in the heavy highway construction industry. Shortly after moving to the area he and his wife, Sally, began attending FBC. They welcomed a son, Reed Alexander, in May of 2011.
Along with Adam’s passion for the gospel, his wife, and son, God has given him a desire for the local church. In the past few years he has had the privilege to serve in various leadership positions and teaching capacities, including serving as a Deacon. Adam is excited about what God is doing at FBC as God uses His church as a means to make disciples and grow them into mature believers for the glory of God. Adam is constantly reminded of his dependence on Christ as God continues to refine him through His Word and His church.
Kevin Benore

At seminary, Kevin's specific ministry call toward business administration, education, leadership, and finance was confirmed.

With that goal in mind, and an added desire to enhance his business skills, Kevin obtained an MBA from Liberty University in December 2008. Kevin and Shantell joyfully welcomed their beautiful baby girl, Katelyn Marissa in July 2011.
