MEET THE TEAM

Pastors Mark and Linda lead this church with HUGE vision, passion, and courage! They love every person that walks through these doors equally and look forward to meeting you!

It’s hard to write a description about our beloved Southwest Campus Pastors that fits well… So we will just use one word: AWESOME!

Don’t let his kind disposition fool you! This man has been rebuilding cars, buying and rebuilding really old buildings, and ministering for all of his life! Ask him about it – he’s got stories!

David is a man of balance, discipleship, and exploration! Ask him what he’s doing this week, and I guarantee it’s different than last week! He is incremental in bringing CFAN to another level! Oh, his wife, Hannah, is super rad!

Hannah is the boss’s wife – so technically, she is the boss, too! She is in a constant pursuit of growth and brings strength to everything she touches making her instrumental in anything and everything happening at CFAN!

Pastor Luke = wisdom & humility
Pastor Tiffany = passion & hunger
It’s the best team for NextGen! And, yes, their last name is actually Pastor.

Who better to put in front of finance. Clay is the most honest, honoring, and honorable man who walks the planet today – a modern day Moses! He loves to teach and encourage others through God’s word!

Marilyn has a vital role at CFAN! She is amazing at keeping Pastor Mark’s schedule in line, helping Pastor Linda with anything and everything, and keeping the staff stocked up on goodies!

Gavin “Dino Drill Sergeant” Palmer! His actual surname is Raging Moses. This dude loves the word and learning everything about it. His hunger to learn about God runs bone deep! Having conversations with this dude have potential to be life altering, and you end up loving God more afterward!

Seriously though, John is servant through and through and is constantly looking for ways to improve anything and everything at CFAN!

Jim’s title says it all… He goes an gets! He is an amazing help all around the church. His focus is always on keeping procedures excellent in everything he is involved in. We love it, and we need him on board!

June is a mother at heart, whether you’re her kid or not! She is always there to listen and to pray. She and her husband have a passion for marriages, and they love to share what God has taught them with others!

Jared Urben LOVES film! LOVES media! LOVES history! LOVES learning! Buy this guy a history book and a cup of Starbucks – I promise you, he will be your best friend for life! When he isn’t helping in the Media Department, he is busy being a genius.

Johnny Colón loves to teach people anything about media! He loves cameras because he sees life through the lens of one! He puts a unique, professional, and creative spin on anything he touches! And he is from Puerto Rico which is pretty cool!

Bri brings a life into places that people need it, whether they want to admit it or not! She leads our retail areas like a pro and leads the Open Arms Food Bank even better! She loves to rework problems to make them easier and streamlined!

Matt is one of the most fun-loving people you’ll ever meet! (Your kids probably know him as Ranger Roger though.) He is all things creative in kids and youth – even if that means beatboxing!

Wally is the Han Solo of CFAN. For real though, look at that smirk! Force Awakens much? He does awesome leading the facilities team! If the world were run by “Wally’s” there would be very few problems in the world! He is a servant down to his very core!

Barbara Miller leads the staff in prayer, heads up the prayer ministry, and leads a powerful personal life of prayer. She hears from God! There is no doubt about it! Always be encouraging her! She is amazing and is a blessing to everyone on staff!

Melissa is a diamond! CFAN won when they hired her! Her smile blesses everyone on staff, and her laugh brightens anyone’s mood! She is also a master of spreadsheets when it comes to accounting!

Carrie is just Carrie. In fact, if your hands are full there’s very little she wouldn’t carry. She is, or at one point has been, involved everywhere in the church! She has a mean Russian accent. Da! I tell you ze truth!

Some may look at him at him and see his Ranger training, but if you really get to know Sherman, you’ll find he has a heart for God and a love for people. And he always has a military story to share!

This is a go-to guy!! JR is always looking for a time or place to serve others with a big smile and caring heart. He is always looking to lend a hand!

Bobbie is one of the kindest people to come across your path. She is always there to help out but more importantly to be a friend. Her smile can light a room and change your mood. We are so blessed to have such a great woman to greet people as they come in.

THIS GIRL IS AMAZING!! She literally can do anything. She is a make it happen kind of gal with a heart for people in all the things she does. If you have met her, you know her smile lights up a room. If you haven’t met her, you need to.

I’m the guy writing all these descriptions… so that’s fun! I also love to see people live happier lives however young or old they are!

Bald Head. Motorcycles. Goofball. Family. Church. Love. Joy. Humor. Pranks. Ridiculousness. Truth.
Jim is the kind of guy you need in your life to keep you in line and keep you happy!

What doesn’t Michelle Vickers do at the Southwest Campus! She is everywhere and still manages to find time to make you feel like the most important person in the world! Thank you, God, for bringing her on the team!

From the Bubble Song to Let’s GO and many more, Justin knows pretty much every song. God has blessed Justin with a voice of an angel and a heart of gold. We are blessed to have such a worshiper on our team!
