Cohort Leaders
David Smith
David is the Executive Director of The Austin Baptist Association and has served in his role for almost three decades. He brings a wealth of experience, especially in the area of revitalization. He is passionate about seeing the gospel go out in the city and pouring himself into younger pastors and planters to equip them with what they need to either plant or revitalize in Austin.
Robert Krumrey
Robert has been involved with church planting for almost 25 years starting in 1999 when he served as lead planter for MERCYhouse in Amherst, MA. He and his wife have recently returned to Austin where they first met as college students to begin a new church plant in Central Austin called Ridgetop Church. Robert loves church planting and wants to not only plant a church in the city but also invest in younger planters to help them grow as pastors who will make much of Jesus by effectively reaching Austin and beyond.
