On a typical Sunday, Nick rises early, has coffee, and prays in preparation for what God is planning for our worship service. Around 10 a.m., he does a final review for worship with the entire worship team and then at 10:30 begins worshipping God in the sanctuary and watches how God shows up and shows out there. Pastors Nick and Blossom alternate preaching and leading other parts of the service. During the week, Nick leads the discipleship ministries of the church, including the Wesleyan classes, builds relationships with congregation members, and oversees the staff.

When Nick is not at work, he enjoys family time, which sometimes includes watching “Number Blocks” with Malachi (his favorite show at the moment). Nick also like to read and discuss ideas for ministry with Blossom. When circumstances allow, Nick does enjoy going hunting from time to time. If Nick were an Ice cream flavor, he would be coffee, simple but very enjoyable.

Pastor Blossom spends her time talking, listening, dreaming, planning, and praying. Her passions in ministry include preaching, healing ministry, and equipping people to live out their God-given calling. She especially focuses on encouraging Jesus-followers to engage in spiritual conversations with their friends and neighbors.

When Blossom is not at work, she enjoys spending time with family, reading, writing, admiring art, and trying her hand at painting. Pastor Nick and Blossom’s oldest children, Ruth and Josiah, are both in college (NMSU and Texas Tech) and Malachi is in middle school. The family also boasts a graceful wolfhound/greyhound named Lily and a rascal husky named Oreo. If Blossom had a super power, it would be flying…because doesn’t everyone wish they could fly?!

Chiv splits his time between First Methodist Carrollton (quarter-time), the Cambodian Methodist Fellowship congregation in Carrollton (quarter-time), and overseeing a network of church plants in rural Cambodia (half-time). On Sundays, he helps lead our services and preaches at the Cambodian Fellowship in the afternoons. During the week, he does pastoral care and hospital visits for both Carrollton churches, and he does long-distance discipleship training and pastoral care for the churches in Cambodia via phone calls and Skype (at all hours of the night, when necessary!)

On a typical Sunday, Jenn is making sure all the details are attended to and the building is ready for Sunday services and activities. During the week, she is responsible for the administrative and operational functions of the church, including management of the physical facilities, supervision of the custodial and facilities staff, church calendar system, security, contracts related to building use, and administration of the financial operations and assets of both the church and preschool.

When not at work, Jenn keeps busy with her family. She is married to Chad and has two children, Kenzie and Mason. Between running carpool, taking kids to their miscellaneous practices, and keeping up with her teenage daughter’s social life, she doesn’t have a lot of free time. But, she does love to read and find all kinds of new things to craft or cook on Pinterest, as well as float in her pool! If Jenn was an ice cream flavor, she would be Grape Sherbert because she loves almost everything purple, and she is sweet with a small bit of tang.

During the week, you can find Amy assisting our Senior Pastors with their administrative and organizational duties. As the Connections Coordinator, she manages our guest and membership databases and follows up with our guests. Amy also serves as a liaison with our hospitality teams and office volunteers.

When Amy is not at work you can find her losing her mind over her crazy home. From her husband, 3 boys, 2 cats and 5 chickens, there is plenty of commotion. She sometimes will hide out in her vegetable garden or read a book for some quiet time. And in her spare time, she helps out with Scout Troop 121 as their advancement chair. If Amy was a sandwich, she would be a grilled cheese. Plain and simple but with a spicy side of tomato basil soup.
