staff spotlight
zac white /// young Adults
My name is Zac White and I am proudly from Little Rock, Arkansas- Woo Pig! I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a degree in finance; however, the LORD grabbed hold of my heart in college and shortly thereafter called me into vocational ministry. He faithfully opened doors, and I found myself serving with UNITE, a traveling college ministry, where I met our Lead Pastor, JP. Through that connection, I joined Harris Creek's residency program and, upon completing it in May, had the privilege of joining the full-time staff leading our Young Adults ministry, The Net! God has given me a passion to see young adults and His Church come alive to His mission. He has wired me to mobilize people, and I am excited to help make disciples who make disciples here in my new home of Waco and among the nations. There is no greater calling.
