Pastor Travis is serving as lead pastor at the Cove Run FMC in Lemont Furnace, PA where he started in September 2019. Before Cove Run, Travis served as the lead pastor at the Glenn Street FMC in Washington, PA, beginning in 2016 until moving to Lemont Furnace to lead Cove Run. Travis was ordained in the FMC in 2023. Travis was raised going to and serving in the Church with his family in Waynesburg, PA, in churches within the American Baptist Churches, specifically the Ten Mile Association. His first time speaking in front of an audience was when his grandfather asked him to share his testimony at their monthly men’s prayer breakfast.

As Travis grew in his faith and continued walking with the Lord, he began to see God's plan: to teach people the Word and follow Christ. After meeting his wife, Abbey, Travis started attending the Whitehouse Free Methodist Church. He served as the youth leader there before becoming a CMC in the FMC. One of the things Travis enjoys the most when it comes to teaching from the Word is relying on the Holy Spirit to help people understand the Word and how to apply it to their everyday lives.

This October, Travis will have been married to his wife, Abbey, for 14 years. They have two incredible and energetic boys, Levi and Liam. In his free time, Travis enjoys fishing, hunting, spending time with family and friends outdoors (especially around a bonfire), playing music, studying history, and visiting as many national parks as possible with his wife and kids. Travis, Abbey, Levi, and Liam aim to visit them all. Next is their trip to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore, The Badlands, and Wind Cave, among others, in South Dakota. Their favorite so far has been Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. His personal favorite has been visiting all the National monuments in DC.

HELLO MY FRIENDS!!! I can’t adequately express how excited I am to come to worship with you all and get into the Word together! Since speaking at Teen Camp a few years ago, BHC and everyone there have held a special place in my heart. I pray daily that our hearts and minds are prepared and open for what the Lord will do this summer in our lives as individuals and the Church!! Please join me as we pray for not just family camp but also teen camp and children’s camp! Pray that hearts, lives, and minds are changed for the glory of our Lord and that we all draw closer to Him daily! Get ready to come together for fun, praise, worship, and growth in the knowledge of our Savior, Jesus Christ !!!
