About Your Leaders
Brian Spears was born in Michigan, raised in Eastern Kentucky, and has lived in the Jessamine/Fayette County area since 1998. Brian and his wife Stacy were married on July 27, 2013. Stacy was born in Owensboro, KY and has also lived in the Jessamine/Fayette County area since 1998.
They have a blended family of 5 children and 9 grandchildren. Brian and Stacy enjoy spending time with family, square dancing, fishing, seeing new places and serving in various ministries when they are not working.
Brian was raised in a Christian home until the age of 18 but was never baptized during that time. After nearly 24 years of believing in but not following Jesus, he accepted the invitation to start following Jesus on March 31, 2013, and was baptized at Crossroads Christian Church in Lexington.
Brian and Stacy were still attending Crossroads Christian Church when they moved to Nicholasville in 2015. After Stacy woke up feeling bad one Sunday morning, Brian decided to find a local church to attend so that he could be home sooner to care for her rather than driving all the way from Lexington. Jessamine Christian Church was the closest church to their home, so he went. Brian enjoyed the warm welcome, Bible preaching, and wonderful experience so much that they both returned the following Sunday. Not long after that, they officially became members of Jessamine Christian Church on Nov. 6, 2016.
Since that time, Brian has served as a Deacon, and with the Student Ministry, Jail Ministry and Worship Ministry. Stacy has also served with the Jail Ministry. They both feel very blessed to be able to serve together in the Celebrate Recovery Ministry at Jessamine Christian Church which launched on Feb. 6th 2018.
