MEET JUSTIN KOUBA Can you give us a little background information on where you grew up.? It is with great pride and a bit of trepidation that I say that I'm from the southeast side of the Houston (pronounced YOU-STUN) area. Deer Park to be precise. In college, I wrote a 35-page paper on the history of Deer Park. Fun fact: Deer Park once tried to annex the planet Venus to become the largest city in the world...it did not succeed. Also another fun fact: the Battle of San Jacinto, where Texas won our independence from Mexico, took place in Deer Park. So is Deer Park the most important (and possibly the most significant) city in Texas? That's for you to decide.
How were you called into ministry? While attending Baylor University, through events and circumstances that can only be God's provision and guidance, I became a worship leader for a church plant near the campus. God continued to shape my

view of not only His church, but also what it looks like being in full-time church ministry. After college, I attended Dallas Theological Seminary and continued to work in the church as a youth and worship pastor. Over the last two decades, God has remained faithful in affirming every step in ministry.
What led you to FBC Midlothian? God and Bruce. Sarah and I were open to follow God's leading, and God was clear in His leading to FBC Midlothian. After my first conversation with Bruce, I came home and shared with Sarah that this might be an open door for us. Throughout the nearly three-month process, it was apparent that God was ordering our steps. Meeting with Bruce, the personnel committee, the staff, and finally, the incredible people here at FBC, both Sarah and I feel incredibly grateful that God was faithful in leading us to a place that we can grow deep roots. We are looking forward to loving a great church and community and building our family here.
