Justin Stringer Email & Phone Number

I grew up in northern Virginia, in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. I spent my life before college pursuing the idols of academic success and social acceptance/popularity. I went to college at Washington University in St. Louis and dove into the party scene there. That summer, I came back home to Virginia. During the first couple of weeks that I was at home, my Grandad died, and his death sent me into a tail-spin. All at once, I could no longer avoid all of the bigger questions in life. All of the emptiness of my life in high school and college became obvious. My need for something more became deafening. On a couch in my parents’ living room, I became a Christian. The Good News of God’s grace blew my mind and captured my heart. The simple fact that at the center of my identity was no longer my performance but Jesus’ performance on my behalf changed everything for me.At the end of my college career, I spent two years in St. Louis launching new Cru movements and shepherding existing movements. I joined staff with Cru. I met my future wife at Cru's New Staff Orientation. We spent two and a half more years in St. Louis. In 2010, Cru invited us to become team leaders here in Southwest Missouri. We said, “yes,” and loved our time in Southeast Missouri. I made a brief stop over in Colorado as a National Director of Global Missions with Cru. And, then, the Lord called us back to Fellowship Bible Church.I get the privilege of preaching most Sundays as well as leading our growth ministries here.
