Family Pastor

After graduating from Ozark Christian College, I joined the Connections Church family in 2011. For over a decade, I've been a guide from the side, helping students meet, know, and grow in their relationship with Jesus. Now, as the Family Pastor, I enjoy doing the same for our Family Ministry team and the parents in our community. Along with my wife Vanessa and our two sons, we are dedicated to spreading the Gospel throughout the communities of Johnstown and Milliken. As a family, we challenge ourselves to live out the words of Deuteronomy 6 in our daily lives and love to invite families to join us on that journey.

My wife Heidi and our 3 sons were called to move from Longmont to Johnstown-Milliken and start the church in 2006. Since then, we’ve been blessed to call this ‘home’ and see our family grow along with our community. As grateful as I am for the past (almost) twenty of ministry here, I'm even more excited to see what God will do in and through Connections in the next twenty! As our community grows, I pray that we can continue to be a trustworthy place for people to meet Jesus and begin their new life in Him.

KidMin Director

As a family we first came to Connections in January of 2018. I joined the Connections KidMin team early on and have been the KidMin Director since September of 2019. This position has helped grow me as an individual and as a spiritual leader alongside of my husband Brett, in our home to our three kids; Makynli, Colt and Nolan. It has been my passion and His plan to partner with kids and parents to support and encourage everyone on their discipleship journey. I want to reach kids so that they have an opportunity to grow in and through a relationship with the Lord regardless of where they are in their walk.

Worship Director

I come from a family of Worship Leaders and have been singing for as long as I can remember! I have grown up involved in Connections Church since I was 10 years old & have been dedicated to serving in many ministries over my years here. My passion for Worship ministry started in High School and has only continued to grow deeper since! This Worship Ministry exists to lead the Connections family in experiencing the elements of worship by facilitating a response to who God is, what He's done, and what He will do. There is nothing quite like joining our voices in adoration of our King. Come worship with me!

Student Ministry Resident

Jesus saved my life in 2002, and my greatest passion in life since then has been Him and the message of the gospel. I am driven to equip those who know Jesus for a lifetime of serving and growing in Him and to spark a passion for sharing His Good News with the lost. I am very humbled and excited to be serving the Johnstown and Miliken communities and working alongside the incredible team at Connections Church. My hope is to ignite the hearts of families to grow together and to connect with others in Christ Jesus. Let’s make the Kingdom of Heaven crowded!
