At age eighteen, Phillip had an encounter with God that created a desire to live a life completely sold out to the purpose of God. This experience sparked a passion inside of him to see others reach their God given potential. Phillip's greatest joy is seeing people’s lives transformed by the truth of God’s Word and then watching them impact their world. 

After winning multiple state championships and being named an All-American quarterback in high school, Phillip received a scholarship to play at the University of North Carolina. While in college, his passion for ministry began. Through establishing a campus bible study, he saw many of his peers dedicate their lives to following Christ.

In 2001, he joined the Community Church staff as a youth pastor. In 2004, Phillip married Destiny Duron. They have together visited over 25 different countries, preaching in most of them. Phillip and Destiny became the Lead Pastors of Northpoint Community Church in 2013. Together they serve the vision of Pastor Denny and DeAnza Duron by expanding the reach of the Community Church family.

Phillip and Destiny believe that God has called all of us to be servant leaders inside the church and out. Their mission as a couple and as a church is to create Christ-centered, culture-changing community. They have two adorable daughters, Carolina Lee and Julietta Marie.
