Bryan Cirlot
Lead Pastor
Bryan and Anna are Jackson County natives. They both graduated from East Central High School in 2002 and then Mississippi College in 2006. After serving churches in Louisiana and Central Mississippi, they came back to serve on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Bryan received his M.Div from NOBTS in New Orleans in 2015. Anna is a family photographer and branding specialist for small businesses on the Gulf Coast.
In the fall of 2011, they planted Church @ The Square in their home with only 8 people. That Bible Study has grown into a thriving church community at the heart of Gautier, MS. Bryan loves to teach the Bible. When he's not teaching, you can catch him reading 16th century theology books or catching up on the latest superhero movie.
Bryan has a particular love for Reformed theology, branding himself a "1689 Federalist," or "reformed of the Baptist flavor." Bryan never misses an opportunity for friendly dialogue on any subject.

Zach Mason
Youth Pastor
Zach and Amber live in Ocean Springs. Zach is a news producer by night, and a youth pastor by day... and night. He has a heart for the Word of God and for people across the globe that do not have access to God's Word in their own language.
Zach loves to teach the Gospel and basic doctrines of the faith to our youth but doesn't miss an opportunity to ask him a deeper theological question. Pastor Bryan has noted that he often gets Zach's thoughts on a theological topic before as part of his sermon prep.
Zach's philosophy of youth ministry is that we need to "swim in the whole pool," having fun and enjoying one another while also diving deep into the truth of Scripture.
