Our Story
Life Church 425 began as a group of ordinary people working together to recapture what church was intended to be - a place where God is glorified, believers are revived, relationships are built, and needs are met the way Jesus would meet them. The aim of Life Church 425 is to make a difference in the lives of individuals, in our homes, workplace, community, and world by sharing Christ’s unchanging message with relevance and application to everyday life.

Our Pastor
Welcome to Life Church 425!
I am a lifelong resident of Washington State, having grown up in the suburbs of Seattle. Throughout my life, I have faced significant challenges, but I was forever changed when I encountered the transformative power of Jesus Christ. That experience set me on a path filled with hope and purpose, despite its obstacles.
The pressures of striving for success, climbing an endless ladder, and living a performance-based life disappeared when I realized that God isn’t looking for superstars—He desires faithfulness. Since committing my life to Christ, I have had the privilege of serving in various roles over the past 30 years, including as a NextGen pastor, worship arts pastor, missionary, mentor, and coach.
My greatest passions are Jesus, people, relationships, and community. I have been blessed to be married to my best friend, Krista, for the past 32 years, and together we have four incredible daughters. Through my journey, I have learned that following Jesus is not about striving for perfection but about embracing the grace and mercy of a perfect Savior.
