Missionaries

Jackson & Hannah Moore

Jackson and Hannah have a deep desire to see the Bride of Christ step into her full identity through worship and intercession. After doing missions in Israel, South Africa, Iceland, Native American reservations, local inner cities, prisons, and now Franklin, TN, the Moore’s have found that the presence of God is the best form of evangelism and discipleship. Jackson and Hannah have both worn multiple hats as missionaries— audio engineer, carpenter, furniture maker, artist, and worship leader. The Moore’s give themselves to worship and prayer at Franklin Prayer House and hope to do the same in the nations.

Missionary

Kevin Embleton

Based in Franklin, TN, Embleton has spent the better part of the last decade crafting emotionally resonant songs for the sake of spiritual formation: in a church or in a bar. As a worship leader, Kevin’s heart burns to see the church grow in gospel fluency and intimacy with Jesus. In the music industry, Kevin desires to create places of rest for weary songwriters and artists, whether in his home studio or just grabbing coffee for times of encouragement. Beyond his solo work, Kevin is actively involved with the artist collective Messenger Music, where he contributes as both a writer and producer.

Her heart is to see generation Z really know God & see a revival start in the entertainment industry.
