  • About

    My name is Isaac Downing.

    I live in central Illinois with my beautiful wife Rachel, our 3 year old son Ethan, and our 7 year old chocolate lab Savanna. By day I’m the worship & family pastor at a church in East Peoria, Illinois. By night I’m a full-time student, trying to finish that elusive BA.

    If that doesn’t satisfy your curiosity, you can become online friends with me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, or view my (neglected) pictures on Flickr. The connecting possibilities are endless!
