LEADERSHIP TEAM:

Our leadership team recognizes the authority of God, and realizes that we are shepherds who serve under the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. We desire to devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the Word. Our passion and goal is to equip the believers for the work of the ministry until we all attain maturity in the fullness of Christ.

Joe Fisher
Senior Pastor

Bachelor of Liberal Arts – Crown College

Work Experience: Has been on staff here since 2005.

Family Facts: He and his beautiful wife, Nikki, met in high school, and have been married for 23 years now. They have had three amazing kids – two boys, Paxton and Payton, and a girl, Aletheia – Tragically Paxton passed in the spring of 2017 to cancer. It has been a life change that has affected many people. Paxton’s last advice for everyone around him was to “seek Jesus,” and that is a legacy we are trying to live out!  

Influential Book: The Bible, first and foremost.  After that, C.S. Lewis, or A.W. Tozer. Letters from a Skeptic, by Boyd is great. 

Favorite Activity: Anything outdoors! From team sports to hiking. It’s all good, because it all has to do with God’s creation.
