MEET OUR PASTOR

Robbie Yarborough is our Executive Pastor and works in sync with the heart and vision of our Senior Pastor and ministry team at Millbrook to impact our city, region, and world with the gospel. Serving as Executive Pastor since September 2015, Robbie combines the necessary administrative skills with a pastoral heart and ministry calling that seeks to take us in the direction God is leading. He is married to Jenny and they have 5 children: Emma Grace, Jay Jay, Cross, Anderson, and Jeremiah. Born and raised in Aiken, he placed his faith in Christ when he was 8 years old and was baptized at Millbrook Baptist Church. A 1994 graduate of Clemson University, Robbie has extensive business experience and had been actively serving in our Sunday School ministry and Men’s Ministry for several years. During his years of volunteer ministry, Robbie felt a growing understanding that God was in fact calling him into full-time vocational ministry. What a blessing it is that God would use that calling to raise and prepare “one of our own” for a future of faithful service at Millbrook.
