Your Team Sunday Mornings and Beyond
Pastor Chad Brown
I love church and its role in our lives and in the community. I love the music and art that come from faith communities, both old and new. And I have a deep passion to serve others, care for the earth, and to work for justice and peace. In the end we belong together as a faith community, becoming disciples of Christ, transforming to become more like Christ. So that’s why we worship, and live, and love, and proclaim the gospel; because Jesus is the light and life of the world.
Faith Formation Director Sherry Maakestad
I have a passion for walking with others on their Christ-journey and with the help of a Youth Assistant and many committed lay people, I design and manage our youth and education programs. I’m called to serve family ministries because of the great need to offer parents resources and support both in parenting and in raising children in homes where faith is nurtured.
