Our Leadership
Samuel - Pastor
Samuel and his wife Leslie spent 14 years together in campus ministry and after graduating from Covenant Theological Seminary began to feel God’s call into church planting. Samuel is passionate about seeing healthy churches planted in the Midwest that honor God and love people. His previous work in campus ministry fostered a burden and drive for ministries to be established and built upon prayer and servant-leadership.
Lance - Pastor
For 10 years Lance and his wife Kelsey saw college students won to the Lord, built up in their faith, and sent out on mission as disciples of Christ. It is with that same holistic vision and passion for making Jesus known that the Lord has led them to plant a church in Columbia, Missouri. Lance brings a vibrancy and warmth to the call of being a pastor, while Kelsey now faithfully serves the city of Columbia through her skills as a professional counselor. They believe that not only is Columbia an ideal city for their family to love and serve, but that it is also a strategic city for reaching Mid-Missouri with the gospel.
