Our Staff

Our staff is radically committed to reaching all people with Nothing But Jesus, and applying Jesus to all of our ministries. The process of becoming a pastor in our denomination is very difficult, which means that our pastors have been trained professionally, and have studied for many years to become pastors. They each have real-life experience that allows them to relate well to those who are skeptical of Christianity, those who have been Christians for decades, to young people, and to older people. 

Our staff also has a lot of fun!  We love serving together and meeting the many new people that God brings to our campuses. You can get to know our staff at a Newcomers’ Lunch, through our Membership Class, or simply by serving in a ministry alongside them!
