Leadership

Our elders & pastors

Our church is led by a plurality of elders/pastors/overseers (these words are used interchangeably in the Bible for the same office).

Adam Madden

Pastor / Elder

Adam and his wife, Paige, have been blessed with nine children. For more than twenty-five years, Adam has labored faithfully in church planting, pastoral ministry, and the strengthening of Christ’s Church. He also delights in the challenge of new ventures and the quiet joy of following bird dogs through the mountain wilds.

Javan Payne

Pastor / Elder

Javan and his wife, Lindsay, are the parents of five children. As a counselor and professor, Javan serves Christ’s Church with conviction and care, applying the Word of God to every corner of life. He, too, finds rest in the stillness of creation, pursuing ducks through the river marshes with gratitude and joy.
