Nick and Brittany Cannon each separately fell in love with Jesus before meeting each other and getting married in 2016. Realizing that nothing else satisfies than our kind King, they gave their lives to follow wherever the Lord leads. They also moved to Greeneville, Tennessee in 2016, and began to live out their passion for God’s will, worship & prayer, and pouring into the next generation, including their own children. God has gifted them with Lily Joy, a spunky, courageous little girl; and Oak, a kind, strong little boy. They are honored to pour into the youth at The Rock Church and are excited to lead by obeying whatever the Lord desires to do.
