Leadership

Our team includes men and women with varied backgrounds in ministry, academia, and the Tucson community. The one thing they all have in common is their love of Christ.

Brad Albin - Senior Pastor

The Goodness of God will always be one of my favorite topics because my life is a living testimony to his Grace. The same God who brought us Rock-N-Roll, created the Heavens, and BBQ Ribs (amen), saw fit to bless me with my incredible wife Natalie and our two kids, Harper and Matthew. It blows my mind every time I think of it. I believe God is still using His church to accomplish big things, and I am honored to share that message of Hope with you each Sunday. The Bible is God’s revelation of who He is and His love for us, and being a Herald of that message brings me great joy.

A prize-winning master of interesting yet useless knowledge (no, really, I’ve won prizes), I promise not to fill my sermons with them – though I will use a well-timed movie quote if the occasion calls for it!

Fast facts for those of you that like that sort of thing:

I hold a Master of Theology from Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary.
My ministry has spanned over a decade in a variety of roles, including youth pastor and head teaching pastor.
I enjoy honey on my pepperoni pizza. Don’t knock it. It’s delicious.

Suanne Harmon

Bookkeeper

I deeply appreciate small particulars, and I believe that we glorify God when we take care of even the smallest detail. As a bookkeeper, it makes me happy when every penny is accounted for because they're all God's pennies. Like much of Tucson, I am a transplant to the desert. Raised in Nebraska on an honest-to-goodness farm, I still believe the Midwest has some of the most beautiful nature in the world! I know Arizona has amazing sunsets - BUT you haven’t really seen one until you’re watching the sun lower behind a golden wheat crop on a long summer night! My husband and I came to Tucson as missionaries with UIM Aviation and have been part of their ministry since 2001.

Richard Christensen

Facilities Manager

Taking care of people is kind of my thing, and I love that I care for our church by keeping the buildings and grounds safe and functional and ensuring a safe space for us to gather and worship. My favorite things are my wife and family, but fishing and camping come in a close second! I believe you can overcome overwhelm by doing just ONE thing at a time, and sometimes doing that one thing goes by a bit faster when paired with the perfect oldies playlist.
