Pastor Brian moved to Northwest Arkansas as a child after his father retired from the United States Army in 1985. In March of 1994, he married his wife, Maureen. Shortly after the birth of their oldest son, Brian accepted Christ in March of 1996 and soon began sensing God’s call on his life for ministry.

Since 1996, Brian has faithfully served in various ministry roles. In 2000, he answered God’s call to move to Springfield, Missouri to attend Baptist Bible College. After completing his studies, and feeling led back to Northwest Arkansas in 2005, Brian and his family returned home to Fayetteville, where he continued serving the Lord in the local church.

Brian and Maureen have now been married for 32 years. They have two grown children, Kolby and Logun, and are the proud grandparents of three grandchildren: Karter, Charlie, and Evelyn.

Chuck Houghland faithfully serves as FOTH’s Worship Minister. With several years of experience in music ministry, Chuck is passionate about leading others into meaningful and Spirit-led worship.

Chuck and his wife, Lexy, are blessed with three beautiful children—Sagely, Malley, and Drew—and one grandchild, Eden.

The Houghlands believe that worship must be directed by the Holy Spirit to truly magnify God’s power and presence while proclaiming the Gospel. Their heart is to lead others into authentic worship that inspires and equips them to live fully for Him.
