Casey Goode
Originally from Marion, AR, Casey was raised in a Christian home and grew up surrounded by a strong foundation of faith. Influenced by his family and church, he felt a calling to ministry during college, where he became actively involved in student discipleship and leadership. He married his wife, Jasmine, in 2018, and they are passionate about serving others and building meaningful relationships. Casey is committed to walking alongside students in their spiritual journeys, helping them grow as faithful, reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ. A key passion in his ministry is raising leaders among the next generation to carry on the mission of the Gospel.
Education
Casey holds a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Arkansas State University, where he focused on Computer and Information Technology, Exercise Science, and Health, equipping him with a broad skill set and practical knowledge. He later earned a Master of Theological Studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2023, where he deepened his understanding of theology and pastoral leadership. Currently, Casey is pursuing a PhD in applied theology with an emphasis on leadership. Casey is passionate about integrating academic insights with real-world ministry. His education has shaped his approach to mentoring students and empowering future leaders to carry out the mission of the Gospel effectively.
Interests
Casey enjoys reading, gaming, and brewing his coffee outside of ministry. His favorite book series is The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini, and he’s a big fan of The Princess Bride. Casey and Jasmine love binge-watching TV shows, with Friends being one of their all-time favorites, and spending time with friends. They also share their home with three beloved dogs: Ava, who acts like she’s in charge; Dax, a goofy giant who doesn’t know his size; and Millie, who is simply happy to be part of the pack. If you’re ever looking to connect, Casey is always excited to chat with parents about their students and how to support their spiritual growth!
