Justin Aldridge was born in New Orleans, but has called Orlando home since high school. In his journey to planting a church, he played professional baseball, fought wildfires for the US Forestry Service, and has been an actor at Disney World and beyond for the last 10 years. In all this, he can look back and see the sovereignty and providence of God preparing him for this uniquely special, uniquely difficult task. His undergrad degree is from UNLV, and he will graduate with his Masters from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in just a few very short months, a degree 17 years in the making. He started and directed a Christian college baseball ministry, served as the Marlins AAA baseball team’s chaplain, has preached all over the country, was the children’s pastor at Delaney Street Baptist Church, and now looks to plant a church in Winter Garden through Send Network. He is married to his high school sweetheart Lindsey who grew up in Winter Garden and they have three kids: Adeline Joy is 4, James is 3, and Nolan is 9 months old.
