Zac – along with his wife, Jess, and their children, Dexter and Penelope – were welcomed to Chestnut Grove in the summer of 2017. After a decade-spanning adventure in California, the Cannons decided their plot needed a change of location; returning home to Virginia to explore what God had spent so much time and energy preparing them for. Zac is graduate of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He can often be found sipping coffee while getting lost in a good book or the weeds of his own imagination. His love languages are sci-fi and cheesecake. For more information about our Youth Ministry visit our youth page.
