Travis and Dr. Jackie Greene are on a mission together to engage and redefine culture for God. They moved to Columbia, SC in 2015 in radical obedience to plant Forward City Church. In just a few years, they have seen hundreds receive salvation and baptism. Forward City has recently purchased and renovated the former Best Buy on Two Notch Road. This facility has the largest indoor playground in the region and an arcade just for kids. There is also a state of the art auditorium for Sunday services and events.
In addition to pastoring, Travis has travelled across the world as a gospel recording artist and speaker. Dr. Jackie leads women into finding their true identity through writing books and hosting multiple ministry platforms - Dig Deep, Permission World, and DRJG Ministries. Travis and Jackie enjoy laughing, music, and the LA Lakers. Together they have three sons, David Jace, Travis Joshua, and Jonathan Judah Willie.
Katherine & Jay Wolf are communicators and advocates. They married and moved to Los Angeles to pursue careers in law and the entertainment industry.

Clayton and Ashlee have been married for over 25 years and have 3 children. They have been on staff at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas since 2004 where they currently serve as the Marriage Pastors. For many years Clayton and Ashlee struggled in their marriage not understanding how to have a successful union the way God intended. As they began to work on their marriage by focusing on how to love and communicate with each other more effectively, their relationship became stronger.
Clayton and Ashlee don’t have a perfect marriage but today they have a strong marriage and have a passion to help others. At Lakewood Church, they lead pre-marriage and marriage classes, marriage life groups, and marriage retreats that have hundreds of couples participating regularly. For the last few years, they have hosted Lakewood’s Spark Marriage Conference with thousands of couples from around the world in attendance.
