Nicole is an fifth grade teacher in Chandler. She and her husband Scott have two incredibly cute children. Nicole also serves on the Youth Ministry team and on the Praise Team.

Lynn Fischer, Church Administrator - Email
Lynn handles all of our financial and legal work, basically the stuff none of the rest of us want to worry about. Lynn frees up the rest of the staff to focus on the important things: such as reaching our neighborhood for Christ and leading our church family to grow more like Christ.
