We are a community at Bellevue College that seeks to create an open space for people to explore faith and grow in their understanding of Jesus Christ.
Our Five-Fold Mission
Prayer
We believe in a God who is always good, all powerful, and who longs to partner with us to bring Heaven onto Earth.
Discipleship
We believe in following Jesus and making disciple.
Worship
We believe in prioritizing the presence of God and that the natural reaction to knowing Jesus is worship.
Mission
We believe in living a life that reflects our relationship with God in what we say and do.
Fellowship
We believe that we can’t do life alone. There are aspects of God that can only be experienced through and with other people.
Meet Our Staff
Each of our lives were significantly impacted during our time in college. We know what students face; the social pressures, romance and heart-breaks, anxiety, depression, and loneliness, but also wonderful life-changing experiences as well, all in such a short period of time. On university campus students are missing out on Jesus, the one who made their hearts and intimately understands every struggle they encounter during this tumultuous season of their lives. Now we have teamed up to reach, train, and disciple the students at Bellevue College.

I grew up right here in the Pacific Northwest, so of course I love things like hiking, backpacking, and camping. But, one of my favorite things is Ultimate Frisbee! I love playing it for fun, competitively, or just tossing a disc around with a friend. My best friend in the world is my wife Elisabeth, we’ve been married since December 21st 2013. We have 4 boys, Tommy, Oliver, Milo and Theo!
I grew in my faith tremendously during my time in college because of others who took the time to patiently mentor and disciple me. Now I’m passionate about doing the same for others! If you’re intrigued by Jesus’ offer of a new, full life, or if you’re already following Him but want someone to walk alongside you in the journey, just let me know! (Or if you just want someone to throw a Frisbee around with, I’m game for that, too!

I am a kid at heart who loves to laugh and play. Balloons, blowing bubbles, anything Disney related, and pictures of cute animals will make me smile on cue. I have moved a lot during my life and at this point can tell you that Washington is the best out there. You really cannot beat how beautiful it is and all of the good coffee.
I didn’t get to learn about Jesus’ love and desire to have a personal relationship with me until my freshman year of college. If you are in that boat, I get how weird and confusing all of this can be! And I can tell you that it actually is half the fun of following Jesus. He continues to reveal Himself to you in new ways the more you walk with Him. Following Him really is an adventure! Let me know if you want to learn more about this adventure or just have someone to ask all your questions to. I don’t have all the answers but I would love to learn with you!
