Staff Leadership

KYLE THOMSEN

LEAD PASTOR

I knew I wanted to be a pastor by the time I finished junior high! I love using how God has wired me to help transform lives. Outside of my relationship with Jesus, my greatest joy is my wife, Kelly & two boys, Josiah & Noah. My favorite way to burn energy is to play racquetball & chase the kids! Fun fact: I am the Jr. High Chess Champion!

WILL DERRYBERRY

WORSHIP PASTOR

Singer/Songwriter. Encouraging people and partnering with the community to create wins is a big passion of mine! People say that I am musical…not sure why! I’m just grateful that I get to use my gifts & talents for God, and to inspire & build up the community He has placed me in!

LAURIE KELLEY

CHILDREN’S PASTOR & OPERATIONS DIRECTOR

I love being a mom to my three grown kids and their spouses…and I adore being a Grammy to 5 (so far!)! Forever grateful to God for what He’s done in my life. He rescued me and then called me into kid’s ministry where I serve with amazing teams of people who love Jesus and His kids!

SHARON STENGER

PASTOR OF SMALL GROUPS

My greatest joy in life is spending time with our children & eight grandchildren! I am an ordained pastor through the Evangelical Covenant Church and have served in local ministry for 20 years. I have taught leadership classes at William Jessup University’s School of Professional Studies. I love helping people find their perfect “fit”!

CHRIS FREDRIKS

YOUTH PASTOR

I started doing youth ministry when I was in high school and never looked back. It has been the greatest joy of mine to lead students to Christ and a closer walk with Him. My greatest strength is my amazing Fiancé who is truly my better half. I love Legos and spending quality time with friends!
