From Tradition to Transformation:
Leading with Heart in Modern Ministry
In the evolving landscape of Gaffney, SC, where every street and soul has its own story, I've embarked on a journey not just of ministry, but of profound personal and communal transformation. To my peers in leadership, I share this reflection not as a testament to my endeavors, but as an invitation to join in a deeper conversation about our roles as shepherds in this modern age.
Navigating the waters of contemporary church leadership demands more than adherence to tradition; it calls for a dynamic blend of authenticity, innovation, and unwavering faith. We find ourselves at a unique crossroads, tasked with bridging generational gaps, healing divisions, and presenting the timeless message of the Gospel in ways that resonate with today's congregations.
This journey, though filled with its trials, has unfolded as a narrative of grace, learning, and unanticipated joy. The essence of our calling remains unchanged – to lead with the heart of a servant, the clarity of a visionary, and the humility of a learner. In my own walk, I've found that the most profound lessons come through serving rather than dictating, listening more than speaking, and loving without reserve.

Let's Connect
In our shared journey of leadership and service, the guiding light remains our faith in Christ Jesus. I invite you, my fellow leaders and pastors, to connect and share in this journey. If you are seeking guidance, collaboration, or simply a fellow servant to discuss the challenges and triumphs in Christ’s work, please reach out.
My Family, My Foundation
Family is more than just a word to me; it’s the bedrock of my ministry and the constant source of my strength and inspiration. Just as Rock Solid Outdoors was born from a personal passion, so too has my family’s journey been deeply intertwined with my walk in faith and leadership.
My wife and children have been my steadfast supporters, my prayer warriors, and my daily reminders of God’s incredible grace and love. Together, we’ve weathered the storms and celebrated the victories that come with a life dedicated to serving Christ. They’ve witnessed firsthand the growth from a small outdoor ministry to the bustling community at Rock Solid Community Church, and their support has been unwavering.
MINISTIRES
Ministries
As God guides my journey, I am blessed to lead and contribute to several ministries that reflect His work in our community and beyond. Each of these ministries holds a special place in my heart, as they represent different aspects of God’s kingdom and how we, as His followers, can serve and grow together.
Pastor of Rock Solid Community Church
As the founding pastor of Rock Solid I'm dedicated to guiding our community through faith and fellowship. As a pastor, my aim is to guide, inspire, and walk alongside you as we navigate the joys and challenges of life with faith in Christ Jesus.
Youth Pastor at Rock Solid Community Church
As Youth Pastor, I create a space for our youth to explore and deepen their faith. Our goal is to engage, educate, and empower our young members, helping them to navigate their spiritual journey and establish a strong, personal relationship with God.
Fellowship of Christian Athletes (Minister)
In my role at Fellowship of Christian Athletes, I merge faith and sportsmanship, guiding athletes to view sports as worship and a means to live out Christ's teachings and using their influence for good. We emphasize character, integrity, and faith in every aspect.

Holden is relatable to everyone. He is a wonderful teacher of The Bible. You can apply his teachings to any aspect of your life. Family, business, sports, hunting, and obviously your faith. Holden is real. Real Struggles, Real Successes, Real Answers. Holden's main attraction is his authenticity. Motivating. After hearing him speak, you are asking yourself how to get in the game, not just watch it. Not only thought provoking but ready for action.
