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 (especially with her husband Angel, who's originally from Mexico), 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.

Leah hails from the gorgeous town of Grand Marais, MN. In addition to singing the praises of her native North Shore, she loves talking about all aspects of music. She serves our community by overseeing the musical aspects of worship,  and the incredible team of musicians our church is blessed to have.

Jesse grew up in northwest Arkansas but has now fully embraced a midwestern identity. He recently completed his PhD in Hebrew Bible at UW Madison, and has served the Christ Church community in countless ways over the years. He provides administrative support to our staff team, and helps lead our Soup & Bread ministry. He loves hanging out with his two young daughters and nerding out about Biblical studies. 

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.

Lynne has been a part of community outreach and leadership in Dane County since moving to Madison two decades ago. She blesses our church with her passion for entrepreneurial ministry, and connecting people to new friends and opportunities.

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.
