J.D. Punch
Lead Pastor
J.D. (John David) was born in the Deep South, but he has lived in New England, the Rocky Mountains, the Midwest, and now, the Pacific Northwest. After a short stint as a mechanical engineer, J.D. accepted a call to pastoral ministry, which has led him to serve in various roles in various parts of the country (and to pursue various theological degrees). J.D. is passionate about teaching scripture, especially the challenging passages that we often avoid, and he loves to work with like-minded people in seeking the common good.
D'Vante Rolle
Associate Pastor
D’Vante is from The Commonwealth of the Bahamas—he grew up in the historic village of Fox Hill on New Providence Island. After seminary, D’Vante dedicated his research to exploring the intersection of faith and mental health, focusing on the key areas of the abuse of power, institutional hurt, and family systems. Through the lens of transformational Biblical hermeneutics and trauma-informed research, D’Vante aims to help others navigate past and present experiences that impact their daily lives.
