MEET OUR TEAM

Creating a space where children feel welcomed, cared for and safe is my top priority! It is such an honor to be someone who helps children know that Jesus is their very best friend, God loves them and has a plan for their life, and the Holy Spirit gives them power. Children, from a young age, can start to develop their spiritual understanding of who they are in Christ. It is a blessing to be able to minister to your children each week with our incredible Lifepoint Kids team!
My wife, Amy, and I have been married since 2010. We both are from the Wichita area. I grew up in this church and it is an incredible honor to serve at the same church, where I decided to follow Jesus and was taught to live each day for Him. I came on staff in 2010 after volunteering under the previous children’s pastor for 18 months and was a youth and children’s pastor preceding.
Amy and I love to spend our free time together, with our five wonderful boys or visiting family and friends. I am a coffee snob and was the first non-manager certified Starbucks Coffee Master in Wichita. I love to read and am involved in the area elementary schools, where I am known as “the magic man.”

I grew up in eastern Kansas and graduated high school in Lawrence, KS. I attended Bethany College where I met my husband, Chris. We have been together for 14 years, married for 8. We have two boys who are 12 and 7. We began attending LifePoint Church four years ago when Pastor Steve started here. I had known Pastor Steve and Robin from their days of pastoring in Goodland, KS where my parents lived. When I found out they were moving to Valley Center, I brought my family to LifePoint to see if it would be a good fit for us. From that first visit, I knew this church would be the one for us. It felt like home. We felt welcomed and loved by everyone we met. We have been attending here ever since. My husband has been involved in Men’s ministry, and I am involved in Women’s ministry, nursery, and the greeter team. I began working here in May of 2016 as the secretary and recently added the role of bookkeeper. I also, help maintain the church website and design the church graphics. I love being involved in so many areas of LifePoint. This church is my family, and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!

I grew up in Valley Center and lived here most of my life in this wonderful community. I had very faithful, loving parents who believed we should attend church every Sunday and serve the Lord daily. When I turned 17 years old, I had an opportunity to attend an Immanuel Baptist Church Revival with two high school friends. I was so overwhelmed by the Teaching of God’s Word, I decided to go forward for the altar call. From that day forward, I knew God had a plan for me to serve Him. I knew he loved me for who I was.
As time moved forward, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s in Education from Wichita State University. I taught two years in Ellsworth-Kanopolis, ten years in Valley Center, and eighteen years in Derby. When I taught in Valley Center in the 80s, I met a wonderful teacher who attend the VC Assembly of God. We became great friends and she spoke the Word of God to me often. It was her love of God and faithfulness that inspired me to attend what now is LifePoint Church. I have been involved with LifePoint Church for over 17 years, 10 years of this time has been spent as the custodian of this wonderful church. I am so thankful and blessed that God open the door to serve here and in Valley Center.
