Justin grew up as a Pastor’s Kid in the beautiful state of Washington. He grew up with a passion for Jesus Christ and felt a call to full-time ministry when he was just a child. He graduated from Central Bible College, in Springfield, MO, with a BA in Pastoral Ministries. He completed his Master’s degree in Intercultural Studies, from Asia Pacific Theological Seminary. Following the call of God, Pastor Justin has served as a Youth Pastor, Young Adults Pastor, Missionary, Church Planter, and Lead Pastor. Pastor Justin has a call to raise up mature disciples, from infancy to maturity, through preaching and teaching the Word.

Justin & Liz met at Central Bible College where they fell in love and got married in August 2008, in Springfield, MO.

Liz grew up as an MK (Missionary Kid) in El Salvador. Growing up she was very involved in King’s Castle Ministries, with her parents, Don & Terri Triplett. Liz remembers being burdened for lost people at a young age. Liz is also a Central Bible College graduate and has a Master’s degree in Education from Southwestern Assemblies of God University. Liz enjoys serving alongside her husband in ministry and loves being a mom to three beautiful children; Allie, Asher, and Liam. She has served as Children’s Pastor, Family Pastor, Missionary, and Church Planter. Liz has a call on her life to serve God by ministering to the hurting and bringing the lost into a personal relationship with Jesus. Liz oversees Kingdom Builders at New Heights and is our site director for Northpoint Bible College.

Stew serves as the Connections Pastor at New Heights Church, a role he began in August 2020. In this ministry, Stew helps people “connect” to the church by overseeing all aspects of the church’s guest and membership process. This includes everything from Guest Care Teams on Sunday mornings to Small Groups throughout the week.  

He has been in full-time ministry since 2005.

He is married to his lovely wife Mary, and they have 3 children: Graham, Nolan, and Aubrey. They love to travel together and are heavily involved in their kids' activities throughout the year.

Mary has worked with children in the arena of Social Work for 20 years. She and her husband were also youth pastors at Tri-County Assembly for 10 years. She is the mother of 3 and is passionate about leading children to Jesus through knowing and applying God’s Word.

Elizabeth was born and raised in Ohio. When she started attending New Heights Church as a teenager it very quickly felt like home to her. This church family and community has always had a special place in her heart, and in her life. She served under the youth pastors here as a student intern and then as a leader. 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 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. His heart for ministry grew as he spent a majority of his time volunteering at church, interning under his youth pastors, and running Bible Studies. Jonah met his lovely wife Jenna while they were church youth interns together. They moved to Cincinnati in the Spring of 2024 with their Basset Hound Miss Marie. They also recently welcomed their first born son, Charles into the world in May of 2025. Jonah is passionate about teaching Gods word to students verse by verse and helping them understand and love the word of God.

Stevyn and Abigail serve together as Worship Pastors at New Heights Church, where they share a deep passion for leading others into God’s presence.

Born in Jamaica, Stevyn spent his early years there before moving to Florida, where he studied, taught, and led music and worship in both schools and churches. Abigail was born and raised in Curaçao, a Dutch island in the Caribbean, and moved to the United States as a teenager. Growing up as a pastor’s kid, she was deeply involved in worship, dance, and children’s ministry, and her love for leading others in worship began at a young age.

After graduating from university, the two met in Florida and married soon after. Since 2008, they have served side by side in worship ministry—leading in churches and schools, and helping others encounter the heart of God through music.

Together, they are passionate about cultivating a worship culture that draws hearts to Jesus and encourages believers to worship Him in spirit and in truth. They have three energetic and joy-filled sons who are their greatest blessings.

Abigail loves walking, visiting coffee shops, and reading, while Stevyn enjoys creating music and spending time with his family. Their ministry and lives are grounded in the truth of John 3:16—“For God so loved the world…”

Pam has been part of New Heights Church for over 45 years, starting back when it was Tri County Assembly of God. She spent two decades singing in the choir before feeling God lead her into youth ministry, where she served as a leader for Jr. High students for another 20 years.

After retiring from her career, Pam continued to volunteer around the church until God opened a new door. In 2021, Pastor Justin invited her to step into the role of Administrative Assistant. After praying with her husband, David, she joyfully accepted.

Pam loves working alongside Pastor Justin and Liz, helping support the daily ministry and behind-the-scenes details that keep things running smoothly. She continues to serve faithfully in this role today and considers it a blessing to be part of what God is doing through New Heights Church.
