Barry Murry | Barry spent years of his life pursuing anything that might bring him joy and satisfaction; but none of those pursuits fulfilled the desire of his heart. Then in 1997, after encountering the gospel, Barry met Jesus and he would never be the same. Less than a year later, Barry entered Seminary, and in 2000 he moved to Maine where he became the lead pastor of a new Church Plant, Lakeside Community Church in 2001.  Barry’s love of the Gospel and his visionary thinking drive him to clarity in his preaching, compassion in his disciple making, and humility in the shepherding of his congregation.  He is happily married to his wife Missy and is the father of Bryson (born in 1997), Olivia (born in 2000), and Luke (born in 2003).
