Anthony & Barbara Franklin

Anthony Franklin is an Associate Pastor who provides oversight, training and leadership to our home group system, which consists of over 50 groups. After committing his life to Christ at the early age of 17, he quickly discovered that strengthening leaders to lead in small group settings was a part of his gift mix. As a servant of the Lord, he is most comfortable in an environment where he can impact leaders through his administrative and teaching gifts. As an accomplished musician and worship leader, Anthony has a unique ability to lead people into the presence of God. Anthony is also known for his dynamic preaching and teaching ministry, which has taken him beyond the walls of Christ Church to serve the greater body of Christ. He and his wife, Barbara help to strengthen and encourage married couples through teaching, counseling and mentoring. Barbara holds a Bachelor's degree in elementary education from Nyack College. They are the proud parents of two girls: Tara and Jessica.
