Carson Render

Carson grew up in Hartland, Michigan with his two sisters. Before meeting Jesus, he got caught up in the wrong crowd and found himself turning to everything he could to find belonging and fulfillment. He graduated high school in 2017 and attended Central Michigan University his freshman year. He found himself hopeless and lost with addictions and dependencies that were killing him emotionally, physically and spiritually. He flunked out of CMU with a 0.3 GPA after not attending class and was forced to move to Pennsylvania to be near his mom who had gotten remarried and moved there. 

He started going to Amplify Church in Pittsburgh, where he encountered the Lord and was radically changed after surrendering his life to Jesus! He moved to Dallas, Texas in January of 2024, where he met Gabe and was introduced to Collision. Quickly realizing this is what the Lord had prepared him for, he signed on and began working towards raising support to come on board full-time. He attends UPPERROOM Church and is in leadership with Tuesday Night Worship ministry. 

He loves his bride to be, Grace, and plans on marrying her in September 2025. He loves to worship, play sports and chess, and his family. He’s passionate about youth and cooking—leading the former to the Lord and ministering to people through hospitality by the latter.
