Ministers and Staff

Pastor Micah Pritchett in a black robe with a purple stole stands in a church with Rev. Prissy Tunnell speaking at a pulpit.

Our ministers share many years of ministry between them, both in the local church and beyond it. Their experience has included leadership in missions, music, pastoral care, and social work. They work with staff members and other congregational leaders to provide leadership for the activities of our church.
