Life Bridge Team

Jonathan felt God's calling into ministry after building a career as a college track coach. The Lord developed in his heart a passion not only for the Scriptures, but to help others understand, put into action, and become passionate about the truths of God's Word for themselves. His desire is to see those far from Christ experience the love, grace, and mercy of Jesus through the gospel message and to see those who are already a part of God's family to grow and mature in their faith through the Holy Spirit's work in and through their lives. In his free time, Jonathan loves playing guitar, writing music, reading great books, running long distances, as well as roasting and brewing really good coffee. He and his wife, Erin, have three active children with whom they love to camp and hike in national parks all across the United States.

Josh is passionate about seeing families of all shapes and sizes take seriously Jesus’ call to go and make disciples. Josh believes that discipleship begins in the home and he is passionate about equipping parents and grandparents with the tools they need to disciple their families. Josh also believes that every person in the church married/unmarried with kids/without kids shares in the responsibility to raise the next generation to know and love Jesus. He is married to his beautiful wife, Laura, and they have four young sons.

Mike is passionate about seeing teens come to know Christ in a lifelong personal and meaningful way, and seeing them become impactful within their schools, neighborhoods, and homes. He loves engaging with and partnering with parents in helping their teens find the reality of Jesus in their lives today. Mike would tell you his first ministry is his family that consists of his wife Jen of over 19 years and his one son, three daughters, and one son-in-law. He loves that he has the opportunity to have his wife and their two youngest serve in ministry with him. Mike has multiple degrees in Biblical Studies, Leadership, and Human Behavior. He has served with both teens and adult ministries for over 20 years in different roles. He loves being in nature and doing anything that involves his family, and of course any Ministry with God's people!
