From coast to coast and sea to shining sea!!! That has been the journey for me (and my family). Born in California and raised in Washington state, we have now completed the cycle of living on both coasts including a stint in the middle. Though there are not many Christians in the Northwest, I surrendered my life to the Lord while attending college at Central Washington University. Conveniently, I not only met Jesus in college, but I met my wife there too (June 23, 1990)!! We graduated from CWU in 1991 and moved to Vancouver, WA where I began a brief career as an Elementary School teacher.
As the Lord continued to move in our lives we followed His leading to move most of the way across the country to Nashville, TN in 1996. Complete with two of our kids Jessep (1992) and Bryant (1995), Branda began work for Lifeway Christian Resources as a wellness consultant, trainer, and author. Early in our move to Nashville, the Lord pulled a fast one on us and called me to vocational ministry. Over the next 5 and half years we worked, volunteered at Long Hollow Baptist Church, and raised kids while completing a seminary degree. Upon completing that degree in 2003 we followed the call to Memphis, TN to serve on church staff in two seperate churches over the next 6 years. In the process the Lord surprised us with two more awesome boys, Landry (2003) and Finley (2006). Yes, that is two families in one marriage, what a crew we are!!!
The Lord continued to pilgrimage of the Polk's in 2009 when we moved back to the Nashville are to serve Immanuel Baptist Church in Lebanon, TN. We were there just long enough for Jessep to graduate from high school and land a college baseball scholarship at Volunteer State Community College in Gallatin, TN.
The coast to coast journey is now complete as we join the FBC Rock Hill family in serving as the Associate Pastor of Spiritual Growth and Assimilation since July of 2011. We are very excited about what God is doing in our lives as well as the FBC family and look forward to serving with you for a very long time. Branda is actively involved in her work as a Personal Fitness Trainer with Willpower Fitness in Rock Hill. Bryant has found a great place as part of the Northwestern High School Purple Regiment Marching Band. Landry and Finley continue to keep us young.
In my spare time I enjoy training for and competing in Triathlon's, usually the sprint variety, coaching my boys sports teams, reading, and visiting the beach whenever possible.
