Tait was born and raised in the Mat-Su Valley of Alaska. His parents came to the Lord in 1994, after receiving counsel to read the Proverbs from a business mentor, and Tait accepted Christ in response to an Institute in Basic Life Principles seminar in 1999.  He loves the outdoors, spending time with his wife and baby son, real estate, and studying theology and its application to every area of life.

Lauren was born and raised in a second generation Christian family in Charleston, SC, and accepted Christ at an early age. She loves being a helpmeet to her husband and a mommy to Little Tait, organizing things, Alaska, and enjoying the many little pleasures that God has surrounded us with.

Tait and Lauren met May 26th 2006 at an American Vision conference held at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center in Toccoa, GA. Tait "happened" to be "in the Charleston area" (800 miles away on a Vision Forum Faith & Freedom Tour of Virginia) on another trip to the East Coast in July, and took Lauren's family up on their offer to come visit. They saw each other again at two Vision Forum Conferences later that year while Tait was interning with the company. In December of 2006, Tait made a three week long visit to Charleston, during which time he received permission to court Lauren.  They pursued a courtship for the next seven months, and became engaged in scenic Hatcher's Pass during Lauren's and her parents' first visit to Alaska.  (For their complete courtship story, click here.) On May 3, 2008, they married after a 9-month engagement.  On June 3, 2008, they discovered to their delight that they were expecting their first precious baby!  To read Little Tait's complete story, visit: Little Tait's Story.

• We believe in the triune God of Scripture.
• We believe that, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16)
• We believe that personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is required for salvation.
• We believe that the purpose for salvation is not personal benefit, but rather the glory of God.
• We believe that implicit in salvation is one's acknowledgement of the futility of one's own way, a rejection thereof, and a wholehearted turning to God's ways as infinitely higher than those of man.
• We believe that sanctification follows true repentance and conversion, and that good works are the natural product of true salvation.
• We believe that God's Word contained in both Old and New Testaments expresses clearly God's plan for our sanctification and growth, and that the definition of sin is the transgression of the law of God.
