Pastor Julian Hobdy

Pastor Julian Hobdy is the proud husband of Jocelyn Hobdy and grateful father of three beautiful girls—Mya, Joi, and Jordyn. They have lived and worked in the Mansfield community since 2006 when they were married.

Pastor Julian is a graduate of Southern Methodist University Perkins School of Theology where he received a Master of Divinity degree with a concentration in Theology and Social Justice. He is also a graduate of Texas Wesleyan University, where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Religion with a minor in Philosophy. Pastor Julian also has an extensive background in Performing Arts and Communications.

The thing that Julian would want you to know most is that he sees himself as a child of God, husband, son, father, brother, friend, and servant—in that order. He has a deep, abiding desire to help extend the Kingdom of God by sharing Christ with others through his words and actions. Pastor Hobdy loves helping people find the ‘A-ha’ moments where life and faith connect!

He firmly believes that all theology must have a real impact on real people in real communities. In that respect, he agrees with St. Augustine’s belief that “Without God, we cannot; without us, [God] will not.” He believes that in God, we can truly live a good life—a life marked by a deep love of God that creates a deeper love of neighbor.
