Members of Remnant Fellowship since 2003, BB and Miley currently live in Brentwood, TN and have two children.
It has truly been a beautiful, life-giving church home for our family. Over the years, we’ve loved being involved in many different areas and are thankful for every opportunity to serve alongside such an encouraging and supportive community.
We were blessed to know Gwen Shamblin Lara personally and to work under her direction as church staff members. Gwen was one of the most humble, kind, loving, and wise people we have ever known, and her influence continues to inspire our lives. We are deeply grateful for the way her daughter, Elizabeth Kauffman, along with her husband Ryan, has faithfully carried on what Gwen founded. We love Elizabeth’s Biblically-based teachings and her incredibly selfless leadership, as well as the genuine, approachable hearts of all the leaders and the strong, close-knit families that make Remnant so special.
Our children, Thad and Isabella, are now teenagers, and they have truly grown up to find God and purpose in life through what they’ve learned at Remnant Fellowship. There are have been so many opportunities over the years to grow and thrive and find God — Through the school co-op program, youth group, and summer day camps, they’ve had an absolute blast while also building a real and personal relationship with God. The youth group has given them solid friendships, so many fun memories, lots of encouragement, and practical ways to put the Bible into action in everyday life and learn to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and turn to God in all things.
Because of what we’ve learned and put into practice here, we are a close-knit family — we have so much fun together and we’re incredibly thankful for that. We’ve especially enjoyed contributing musically over the years, and it has been such a joy to watch our kids now carry this on through their own musical gifts. We are grateful every day for this community and the lasting impact it continues to have on our family!
