Jeremy and Catie met while they were attending Central Bible College in Springfield, MO and were married in 2008. Together, they have served as youth, associate, and lead pastors. In September 2013, they moved to Anthem to plant Summit Church and have quickly grown to love the area and people. (Summit Church opened January 11, 2015.) Originally from western Kentucky, Jeremy loves to meet people and hear their stories. He currently works for the Arizona District of the Assemblies of God as the director for their school of ministry. Catie is from northern California and considers it a privilege to work from home so she can be with their two great kids, Audrey and Caleb. They are excited about helping people embrace a genuine and passionate relationship with Jesus Christ.
