Our Leadership

Hailing from Tennessee and California, Scott and Marissa met at college in Chicago where they both studied music, the Bible, and literature. They have personally experienced a transformational homecoming to Jesus and his Church, and are passionate about being on this journey with others.
Scott has served in the Anglican communion in America and England for almost two decades. He loves the Bible, literature, folk music, fishing, motorcycles, and serving the Church. They have four boys, James, Aaron, Beau, and Vaughn.

Kaitlyn comes to Madison from Poland (originally) and Chicago (most recently). As our Ministry Director, she blesses our church through her oversight of Sunday mornings, administration, and communication. She loves latin dancing, silent retreats, learning about church history, and exploring Wisconsin's beautiful outdoors. She is thrilled to be a part of what God is doing in Madison.

Nicole and her family moved to Madison from North Carolina around the same time our church was planted. In a former life, she was a family nurse practitioner, and she has been serving with children in church since her teens. We are thrilled to have Nicole leading Treehouse - equipping volunteers and partnering with parents to disciple the youngest members of our church family.

Randy comes to Madison from Oak Park, IL, and oversees all things operational, which includes tech, web design and finances. Besides being a proud father of 4 and grandfather of 12, Randy is an artist and can make a classic twin motorcycle engine sing like Patsy Cline.

Kent and his family have been committed to the mission of Christ Church since they moved to Madison from Chicagoland in 2018. Kent is excited to be a partner in the process of developing our youth ministry, and he loves serving in a bunch of other ways. Come say hi! Kent is easy to spot at 5'18" tall and is always happy to talk with you about buying and renovating houses, adventuring, or Dungeons'n'Dragons.

Sam is a townie and has lived in Madison most of his life (with short stints in Maine, Alaska, and Scotland) and is immensely grateful that Christ Church was planted in his hometown. He has experienced an incredible richness in community at Christ Church and is excited to serve the Youth and go deeper in his life with Christ and the Church.

Julie grew up in Monroe, WI and is a proud alumna of UW-Madison. At Christ Church she is in charge of all things sacramental and beautiful. She leads the Altar Guild team and blesses us by transforming a high school auditorium into sacred space.

Susi and Jason have spent 30+ years in campus ministry with InterVarsity, and come to us from Berkley, CA. They are passionate about discipleship, and they help lead our Soup & Bread ministry through shepherding  leaders and crafting the curriculum.  

The Parish Council provides godly counsel and accountability for the senior pastor, clergy, and other staff.  In addition, Parish Council members govern the business affairs of the church and model a life of prayer and service.

Stewart oversees our family of churches across Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri. He is married to Katherine, and their first love and passion is raising their six children and developing their family as a “domestic church." Stewart loves running, reading, and spending as much time as possible in forests and streams with his kids.

Fr. Kent is a professor of moral philosophy at Clarke University. He assists Christ Church in word and sacrament, and blesses us with his decades of ministry experience both in church and chaplaincy contexts.
