Spencer Dawkins

Spencer Dawkins

Missions Pastor

Spencer and his wife Heather, along with their daughters Logan and Alden, have a heart for missions. Spencer and his family believe that all who are followers of Christ are called to be on mission.

Mission work looks different for everyone. Be it in your home, raising children, serving in the local church and community, your business, or overseas, we are called to go therefore and make disciples. They also believe that being on mission for Christ is how families, the lost, and the hurting are reached. Missions can be as simple as washing a car for someone, going on mission trips, or serving meals to the hungry. Mission work is the way that we serve others as Jesus did.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45 NKJV

Jimmy Noles

Family Pastor

Jimmy, Angela and their wonderful children , Dusty and Joley, lead our families to find their place at Redland. We encourage the newest family to the longest attending family to get connected and stay connected. If our families are serving in the community, we get the opportunity to show the light of Jesus to the lost. We believe that the church must be discipled and then sent out to serve.

Education Pastor

Creston and his wife Kim, along with their two children Brennan and Ian, have a heart for Christian Education. Creston and his family believe that all Christ Followers should be growing in their faith both at home and corporately in the small group setting.

The Huletts believe that we all find our way when we focus on the lessons learned from the Bible and we do it in the community of Small Groups. Christian Education is the way that we grow just like the disciples did.
