Evan McBroom - Executive Director
Evan is passionate about creating spaces where pastors can rest, recharge, and reconnect with God.

His heart is to strengthen ministry leaders, and he’s known for facilitating gatherings where walls come down, conversations go deep, and laughter is never far away.
