Meet Our Leadership
Rev. Kirk was born and raised in Statesboro, Georgia. A proud graduate of Statesboro High School, he went on to earn a degree from Georgia Southern University before completing a Master of Divinity at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology.
Since arriving in Brooklet in June of 2024, Pastor Kirk has loved becoming part of the network that makes up Brooklet and Southeast Georgia – from farmers to teachers to neighbors it is great being part of this community.
When not serving the church, he stays busy trying to keep up with two energetic kids, Wesley and Henry. He also enjoys playing a little golf and cheering on the Atlanta Braves.
Rev. Dr. Rick Mitchell has served in ministry for over four decades, beginning his pastoral journey in 1978 and retiring in 2022. He now serves part-time at Brooklet Community Church. A native of Brunswick, GA and a lifelong learner, he holds degrees from Valdosta State, Asbury Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry from Drew University, where he earned honors for innovation in preaching.
He and his wife Debra have three children and four grandchildren. Outside of work, he spends his time reading, singing, and playing the piano.
Casey was born and raised in Statesboro, Georgia, and has always had a heart for both people and ministry. A 2009 graduate of Bulloch Academy, he went on to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Sport Management—with a minor in Marketing—from Georgia Southern University. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies and Christian Ministry from Guido Bible College in Metter, Georgia.
He joined the Brooklet Community Church family in March of 2024 and has truly enjoyed getting to know the people and being a part of the life and fellowship of the church. His love for connecting with others and building meaningful relationships shines through in everything he does.
Outside of church, he enjoys playing tennis, fishing, spending time with his family, attending Georgia Southern and University of Georgia sporting events, competing in tennis tournaments, and going to the beach.

Chloe is passionate about helping kids experience the love of Jesus in ways that are both engaging and age-appropriate.
