David Fairchild

Lead Pastor

David was adopted from Seattle, grew up in Port Orchard, and went to school in South Kitsap High. When he was 21, he moved to Los Angeles and started working as an accounting and financial recruiter  where he climbed the latter eventually becoming a partner with another company.

From the age of 15, David was an Atheist and it wasn’t until after marrying his wife, Grace, that David became a Christian. It was while living in San Diego that his faith grew, he began serving at his local church, and sensed a calling to vocational ministry. David, Grace, & their two children (Michael & Madison) spent 10 years planting churches in California and serving as a Board Member for the Acts 29 Network as well as Acts 29 International before moving to Seattle in 2011 where David was lead pastor of Mars Hill West Seattle (later to become Trinity West Seattle). The Fairchilds served faithfully in Seattle until the Fall of 2019 when they responded to C3Houston’s need for a lead pastor.

Michael Roberts

Michael Roberts was born in Dallas and raised in San Antonio. After attending church on and off with his family, Michael began Young Life in high school. He heard the Gospel clearly taught at a Young Life camp in Colorado his sophomore year of high school. During that trip, he placed his faith in Christ, thus beginning a process by which God would lead faithful men in his life to train and disciple him in God’s word.

Michael learned how to study God’s word and developed a love for the Church during his time at the University of North Texas in Denton. College brought his now-wife Brooke into his life. God allowed them to participate in various ministries during their 4 years of dating, including Back Yard Bible club for inner city kids, and CollegeLife. While at UNT Denton, Michael felt a strong desire to go into full-time ministry. Shortly after graduation, he completed a 9 month Bible program, married his bride, Brooke, and accepted a job as a Student Pastor in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

In Arkansas, Michael and Brooke helped plant Fellowship Bible Church of Jonesboro in 2002. They would grow their family by three more during their time there. While serving in Jonesboro, Michael attended Dallas Theological Seminary, by extension, graduating in 2011 with a Masters in Biblical Studies. Later that year, God would lead them back to Texas, where Michael served as an associate pastor at Christ Fellowship – Preston Campus (a church plant) in Celina. Michael worked for Graphic Solution Group out of Dallas to supplement his income while working part-time for the church. The church in Celina was not big enough to bring him on full-time, so Michael and Brooke began praying for guidance. In May of 2014, God opened the door for Michael to become the Branch Manager for GSG in Houston, where he is currently employed. Through GSG, Michael has since graduated from Texas A&M with a Masters in industrial distribution in 2018.

Michael currently teaches in our C3Kids program. Michael loves the C3 family and is honored to serve alongside God’s people seeking to make Christ known in Houston and far beyond.

Adam Perry

Adam Perry and his wife, Lauren, have been members at C3 since its beginnings in 2012.  They visited two weeks after they were married and have not left! Adam and Lauren have been richly blessed by the ministry of C3 in countless ways.  They have four precious kids, Madison, Oliver, Teddy, & Evelyn.  Adam and Lauren have been involved in the life of the C3 Body in various ways throughout the years including children’s, men’s and women’s ministries and community group.  Adam and Lauren dearly love their community group in West Katy which they have hosted and been a part of leadership for 7 years now.  Praise God!

Adam has been a Houstonian since he was three.  He was raised by a faithful Mom and Dad who shared the Gospel with him and his three sisters and brother at an early age.  Adam confessed his sinfulness and need for rescue by Jesus at a young age (6), but it was not until his first year of college where the Lord graciously allowed Adam to taste the bitter fruit of his idolatry of success, family, independence, approval, and many others. Jesus became a sweet and steady assurance for Adam’s soul.  The college years were transitional ones for Adam who had spent most of his first 20 years playing sports of all kinds. After two years of playing college baseball at Sam Houston State he transferred to Texas A&M to finish in engineering. More significantly during that season of life the Lord compelled a deepening appetite for His Word and what it meant to live for Him and…he met his wife, Lauren!

From the early days of C3, Adam has been challenged to grow in understanding the vital importance of the Christ’s Body, the Church. Through the preached word, the faithful love and witness of friends at C3, little-by-little the Lord has graciously convinced him that Christ’s Body is precious to Christ.  The Lord Jesus has saved us into his family and we now, together, walk arm-in-arm seeking to love and obey the Great Call of our Great God.  Adam is eager to walk with his brothers and sisters in obedience to our gracious Lord.

Brian Bush

Brian Bush grew up in Morris, IL, a small farm town with a Friday Night Lights-esque (the movie, not the show) obsession with high school football, an annual Corn Festival, and strictly enforced 25 mph speed limits. He regularly attended church on Sundays with his family, at least Sundays when it did not conflict with sporting events.

Throughout his early years, Brian strived and inevitably struggled toward a self-imposed standard of “perfection,” however a kid might think to measure that in academics, athletics, behavior, etc. and often was left burned out and defeated. That was born out of pride, idolatry (of success and security), and zero true understanding of the work of Christ. But around the time he started high school, by the grace of God, he heard the Good News. Brian recognized he was a sinner and in need of a Savior and Jesus had died for his sins. The Lord was faithful in the months afterward, with the local youth pastor discipling Brian, who could then gladly declare “Jesus is Lord and Savior.”

He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to study Mechanical Engineering and become Ironman. There was no intent of ever moving to Texas or working for ExxonMobil, but then that’s exactly what happened. The Lord said,
“My plans aren’t your plans,” and by the end of Brian’s first weekend in Houston, he’d unwittingly found pastors that would equip him to really study the Word for the first time, close friends (to this day), and his future bride, Erin. God obviously thought he needed some help… At the end of 2011, Erin and Brian joined in the soft launch of C3, and have remained except for a 3-year long business trip to Los Angeles’ beach cities. They have been thoroughly blessed being part of and serving C3. Erin has served as a staff admin for several years and recently as a deacon; Brian has led a Community Group and has taught Sunday School at most grade levels. He is humbled (and excited) about being considered to serve C3 as an elder. The Bush family has grown over the years, with the additions of 3 children and a cat named Zorro.

Parker Jones

Parker Jones was born and raised in Houston and spent much of his childhood in a large church in the west side of town. Many of his summers were spent in church camps and it was in one of these camps that the Lord opened his eyes to his brokenness and need for a Savior.

When he was sixteen, he accepted an invitation from a friend to visit a different church and quickly decided that that was the church for him. Unrelated to his decision to faithfully attend that church, he met a cute girl that also attended that church with her family.

He attended college at Texas A&M University and continued to grow in his faith while pursuing an engineering degree and the aforementioned cute girl who was then living in Waco. He joined a fraternity and God blessed him with many spiritual brothers that continually challenged, encouraged, and sharpened him during his time in College Station. Two weeks after graduation, he married Lauren, his girlfriend of five years. They started their life together back in Houston where he began his career as a petroleum engineer.

Parker and Lauren re-joined the church where they met in high school and then helped start Christ Community Church in 2013. They spent a four-year hiatus in Austin from 2017-2021 where they attended the Well and later helped plant Refuge Community Church before heading back to Houston. They are thankful to be back in community with the body of C3.

Through the years, they have served in the kids ministry, the A/V booth, and the worship team. Parker currently serves as a deacon. Along the way, Parker and Lauren have grown their family with the addition of four children: Laura (19), Jeremiah (11), Ty (5), and Juliet (1). Their children originally hail from Colombia, Tanzania, and Texas. The Lord has uniquely used the body of C3 to love and carry them over high mountains and through deep waters; Parker is humbled and honored to be considered to serve C3 as an elder.
