About Aidan

Follower of Jesus

Aidan is first and foremost a follower of Jesus. He knows that nothing of eternal value can be done apart from a deep, abiding relationship with his loving Father and his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Husband

Aidan is also a husband. Married to his wife, Emmalie, since March 2025, Aidan believes that true leadership begins in the home—where love, service, sacrifice, and shepherding start. Together, Aidan and Emmalie lead the R12 Young Adult Ministry at Living Hope Church, spend time with family and friends, enjoy beach days, and love playing with their Malti-Poo, Oakley. Aidan believes that a healthy private life is the foundation for public ministry.

  • THE WORD

    We believe that Jesus is the Word and the Truth who sets us free from the grip of sin. God’s Word is our “instruction manual” for living in obedience to His will and for His glory. As Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31–32).

  • THE WAY

    “Jesus is the way to new life—life in freedom as a child of God and life eternal. Through Him, and only Him, our sins are forgiven and redeemed, so that we may live in communion with the Father. As Jesus Himself declared, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’ (John 14:6).

  • THE LIGHT

    We believe that when we follow Jesus, He lights the way on the path set before us. This path is marked by our identity in Christ, our calling, and our purpose—crafted by God’s infinite design. We walk it for His glory and for the building up of others. As Scripture reminds us, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105).
