Meet Our Pastors

Kyle Thomsen

Lead Pastor

I knew I wanted to be a pastor by the time I finished junior high! I love using how God has wired me to help transform lives. Outside of my relationship with Jesus, my greatest joy is my wife, Kelly & two boys, Josiah & Noah. My favorite way to burn energy is to play racquetball & chase the kids! Fun fact: I am the Jr. High Chess Champion!

Laurie Kelley

Executive Pastor

I am forever grateful to God for rescuing me and calling me into ministry. I am honored to serve our staff team and church family in a variety of capacities after serving 20+ years in kids ministry. I still love kids and families, especially my own 3 grown kids and their families!

Will Derryberry

Worship Pastor

Singer/Songwriter. Encouraging people and partnering with the community to create wins is a big passion of mine! People say that I am musical…not sure why! I’m just grateful that I get to use my gifts & talents for God, and to inspire & build up the community He has placed me in!

Joy Fishler

Pastor of Adult Ministries

There is nothing better than Jesus. Loving God and loving people is at the heart of who I am. I’m mom to two incredible daughters, an all-around animal lover who proudly represents Team Cat. I love making memories with family and friends, especially so if they happen to be near a lake, river, beach, or basically any body of water.

Justin LaHiff

Pastor Of Production & Operations

I’m grateful to serve alongside an amazing church family and help people take their next steps with Christ. I love helping people discover how God has wired them and creating opportunities for them to use those gifts to make a difference. I’m the kind of person who enjoys building teams, solving problems, and figuring out how to make things work better. Whether it’s helping bring an idea to life, developing leaders, or supporting ministry behind the scenes, I love seeing people succeed and ministries thrive. When I’m not at church, I’m usually spending time with my wife and kids, tackling a home or technology project, or figuring out how to improve something that was probably working just fine before I got involved.
