Philip Bassett was born in San Antonio, Texas and grew up in a nearby hill country town called Boerne. He earned his B.A. in English from Belhaven College where he meet his amazing wife, Christine. After graduating, he taught English, history, and journalism at Mt. Salus Christian School, in Clinton, Mississippi, from fall 2005 to spring 2007. In the summer of 2007, he and Christine moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and he enrolled in a graduate program at the University of Dallas. Having finished his coursework there, he is now working on his thesis, which considers the relationship between law and nature in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Though he has been a believer as long as he can remember, it was not until he began attending Reformed University Fellowship at Belhaven, that he discovered the joy of the Lord. He is both honored and eager to serve Grace Community.
