Leadership

Bruce & Sheila, in obedience to God, launched Lifeway Church in 2008. They met in Bible College and have been in ministry for...(a long time). This year they celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary. They have one daughter, Elizabeth who is 30 and serves in leadership here at Lifeway. And they have 2 standard poodles (Solomon and Sophie) that keep them running and laughing.

Jari Wilson joined the Lifeway Church leadership team in 2016. Jari, her husband Alvin and daughters, Victoria and Stephanie serve the Lifeway family in many different areas. She wears many hats and helps the entire Lifeway Church staff stay focused and organized!

Elizabeth Rhodes has been serving in ministry since birth! She has a degree in marketing and graphic design and loves to create. She helps Lifeway Church look awesome, loves to lead worship each Sunday with the Vertical Worship Team and also leads our High School ministry. Elizabeth is passionate about using marketing and creative arts to communicate Christ. She loves a good chai tea latte, organization by color coding, and all things Star Wars!

Michael Allen has been serving at Lifeway since 2010. Since then has served in many capacities and always does with his whole heart. Michael leads the Production Department (audio, media, lighting, video). Michael leads our Student Ministry: Lifeline Youth... (they love him!) He has a heart to see this generation Love God and Serve the King! He loves to communicate the love of God anyway he can! 

Guy & Orysia Ciappini have been attending and serving at Lifeway Church since 2012. Orysia oversees our Altar & Prayer Team who are available at the end of each service for prayer and agreement. Together, Guy & Orysia Ciappini love to pray and encourage other believers and are a blessing to everyone around them! 

Trina Claiborne has the best smile and the warmest hugs this side east of the Mississippi! Trina leads our Greeting and Parking Lot Teams – some of the first faces you’ll see upon driving or walking in to Lifeway Church! Trina is a professional nutrition and life coach, and when she’s not serving you can find her working on her latest book, making a YouTube video for her channel, or cooking up an amazing healthy meal! Trina is an amazing part of the Lifeway Church leadership team!
