Our desire has always been to serve as a team, believing that God has uniquely equipped and gifted each of us. Daniel's love for and ability to teach God's Word, combined with organizational skills and vision-casting have enabled him - with God's strength and wisdom! - to motivate people to be passionate about their commitment to Christ. Melissa loves being a stay-at-home Mom to Ryan (grade 9) and Alyssa (grade 7) and thrives on participating in women's ministries - both in speaking publicly and also on a one-to-one basis.
“It's not about us” …but about creatively partnering with others as together we worship the Lord and see His Church move forward. As we see modeled in Scripture, we firmly believe in developing and strengthening the team aspect on the leadership level, knowing that this dynamic will filter through and strengthen the Church.
