About Dr. Stokes
As a preacher’s kid, Dr. Britt Stokes “cut his teeth” behind the scenes of local church ministry. From worshiping in small rural churches, all the way to metropolitan megachurches, Britt has experienced church from a variety of angles and perspectives. He’s served local churches in all sorts of volunteer roles and through positions such as a deacon, teaching pastor, elder, denominational leader, and the lead/senior pastor of numerous congregations during transitional periods.
Prior to serving in ministry, Britt worked in both government and corporate settings, specializing in organizational tax strategy and governmental tax audits. Through a tactful, yet candid approach, Britt enjoys working with congregations to navigate leadership transitions with an aim toward seeing the gospel continue to change people’s lives.
Britt holds a PhD in Biblical Spirituality from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he wrote a thesis on the hymnwriter, Isaac Watts. He also received a ThM and MDiv from Southern Seminary, an MBA from Charleston Southern University, and a B.S. from Clemson University.
Britt has also published a variety of books, edited volumes, and articles in the areas of spiritual formation and historical theology.

FAQS
Though we work with churches that have varying theological distinctives, foundationally, we are evangelical and hold to the inerrancy and authority of Scripture. We believe the Bible, as a whole, and in its parts, contains the very words of God. We regularly work with churches that joyfully affirm statements such as: The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, the Baptist Faith and Message 2000, The Danvers Statement, and The Nashville Statement.
