God speaks through production elements, just as he does through music or preaching. Cory is married to his beautiful and talented wife Tiffany and has 2 amazing kids.

She has felt a calling to ministry and working with children since a young age.
Elizabeth loves working with children and for nearly 5 years she worked in a Christian pre-school center. While working there she gained valuable experience working with children from infants to 3rd grade. Children quickly make their way into your heart. It makes her so happy to be working with children again and see their smiling faces every Sunday!
She is passionate about teaching little ones about God, how much Jesus loves them, and having a lot of fun along the way!

Jonah Stalsberg - Youth Pastor
Jonah is a Minnesotan born and raised. Jonah felt a call to ministry when he was in 8th grade after a close friend invited him to their youth group.

Jonah met his wife Jenna while they were youth interns together. They moved to Cincinnati in the Spring of 2024 with their Basset Hound Ms. Marie. Jonah is passionate about teaching Gods word to students verse by verse and helping them understand and love the word of God.
