Leadership

I love people, coffee, & travel.  Rachel and I have two amazing boys, Micah and Eli.  We are originally from New Brunswick, but have also lived in Indiana and New York State before moving to Richmond. 

I grew up in New Brunswick and six years ago, moved cross-country to Richmond. I have followed Jesus since I was six years old.  I love the outdoors, reading, kickboxing, music, and time spent with friends and family

Things you might not know about me: I have a degree in International Development and believe the local church is a perfect place to work for transformational change

I love people, Jesus, Sushi and Crossfit! I grew up in Ladner, but my life has taken me all over the world. I am passionate about the church and creating opportunities for people to listen to and respond to God. It is an honor to be at a church where God is moving! 

I’m Russell. I’ve loved Jesus since my late teens and have been involved in worship ever since. I have been leading in different capacities for over 16 years, and I am still learning, and passionately being guided and led by the Holy Spirit! My heart is for all-encompassing worship that extends far beyond Sunday mornings, and building His Kingdom through fostering musicianship and excellence in everything we do.

As the Director of Next Generation Ministries at Cedar Park Church, I am committed to fostering the spiritual development of our children and youth through engaging and impactful programs. My pursuit of a teaching degree at TWU enriches my approach to mentorship and education. I am dedicated to building meaningful connections within our community while bringing enthusiasm and creativity to my role. In my free time, I enjoy backpacking with my husband Andrew, gardening, making coffee, finding the perfect hammock spot, and spending time with friends.

I love serving my church community.  At home, I enjoy cooking.  I am married to Phillip and have one daughter.
