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). They've been married since 1987... (we'll let you do the math on that!) They have one daughter, Elizabeth who is 31 and serves in leadership here at Lifeway. Outside of pastoring, they enjoy their 2 standard poodles (Solomon and Sophie), gardening, watching a good mystery movie and planning big things for Lifeway. 

Jari Wilson's been with Lifeway Church since 2013. Jari, her husband Alvin and daughters, Victoria and Stephanie all serve at Lifeway in many different areas. Jari serves in many different capacities around Lifeway Church and is a huge blessing to the leadership team and ministries at Lifeway. You'll always see Jari with a huge smile on her face and dancing during praise and worship! 

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! 

Elizabeth Rhodes has been serving in ministry since birth! She has a degree in marketing and loves to create. She helps Lifeway Church look awesome,  leads worship each Sunday with the Vertical Worship Team, and coordinates our LifeKids teams. She loves a good chai latte, organization by color coding, and all things Star Wars!

James Ellis heads up our services teams (greeters, parking lot teams, hosts, and info desk). James has a heart for people and to see the local church grow and expand! James and his wife Jasmine serve in many different roles around Lifeway Church. You will always catch them both smiling and ready to give a welcoming hug when you meet them!

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 serves on the Services team and provides expertise for our Check In team. Trina is a professional nutrition and life coach, and when she’s not serving you can find her working on her latest book or cooking up an amazing healthy meal!
