ANSON McMAHON
Lead Pastor at Emmaus Church north of Atlanta, GA.

When he was 9 years old a man named Mr. Peavey took him to church. Mr. Peavey’s ministry was to pick up children and take them to church each Sunday. As a result of this, seemingly insignificant, act of love Anson trusted in Jesus and his life has never been the same.

Anson attended the extension center of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary while traveling and preaching full-time. Staring in 2003 he served five years as the High School Pastor and Pastor to Students and Young Adults at Big Valley Grace Community Church in Modesto, California. In 2008 he was called to serve as High School Pastor at 12Stone Church in the Atlanta area. Then, in 2010 Anson obeyed God’s call to plant a gospel-centered church called EMMAUS Church.

Anson and his bride Heather have two beautiful daughters: Annabelle Grace and Madeline Hope. Their fervent prayer is that their children will be overwhelmed by the grace and hope that can only be found in a relationship with Jesus Christ.
