Brent Evers was born and raised in the Kansas City area. He heard the gospel as a high school student and accepted it intellectually. He thought he was a Christian, but wasn’t converted to Christ until God humbled him while in dental school. To be crucified with Christ and to no longer live for self was his only response to having his eyes opened to the light of the glory of the gospel of Christ.

Brent was married to Cari in 1992 and the Lord has blessed them with three children: Malory, Reid & Courtney. Brent and Cari had a passion for evangelism and were involved with “seeker” churches for several years early in their marriage. But through a series of events, their eyes were opened to a higher view of God’s sovereignty, particularly in the area of salvation. They started attending Faith Community Church in 2003 and have been blessed by the teaching, the fellowship, and the reverence for Christ and His word in this body of Christ. Brent helps oversee the Fellowship Group Ministry and is an integral part of Faith Christian Academy.
