I'm Justin Gottlieb. Born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, I came to faith in Jesus as an undergrad at Arkansas Tech University. Unfortunately I didn't get plugged in with a church for several years and really missed out on the amazing privilege of being part of Jesus' church. Eventually I was fortunate enough to have some really great pastors invest in me as I began to learn what being a Christian dude is about. Then as I was most of the way through college, I began sensing a call to ministry.
My ridiculously awesome wife, Myrriah, and I moved to the North Shore so that I could go to seminary at Gordon-Conwell, and found a home at Seven Mile Road in the process. From the first Sunday we walked in to corporate worship, we were floored by the fact that everything done at this church centered around Jesus. Preaching was about Jesus. Singing was about Jesus. Life was about Jesus. We knew instantly that this was where we had to be. Several years later, any uncertainty about what type of ministry God's called me to has left as my love for Jesus and his church has grown while we've become part of the community at Seven Mile Road.
In July 2009, I was called as a Pastor at Seven Mile Road. On top of the beautiful, but weighty, call to lead Jesus' church alongside our other Pastors, I get to head up the children's ministry, lead 1Track and be involved in the Sunday evening Soulcare group. God has been and continues to be really, really good to me.
