Jody and Heidi were married on September 24, 2011. Immediately after marrying they moved to Phoenix to begin planting churches in the area. They live in Downtown Phoenix near the ASU Downtown campus.
Jody currently works as a Personal Trainer at the YMCA Downtown. This job is what he likes to call a "smart job" because it provides necessary income as well as creates relationships with the community. Specifically, this YMCA is in partnership with the ASU Downtown campus resulting in every student using the "Y" as their fitness center. Therefore it is a great venue to establish relationships with the community at large as well as the ASU campus that will help result in a new church plant. He also receives funding and is a licensed church planter with the Christian and Missionary Alliance and earned a Master's of Divinity from The Master's Seminary.
Heidi currently works for Arizona Family Florist. She helps run production, design and the retail store for the company. This is a great opportunity for Heidi to engage the community and also gain experience in a field she loves. Ultimately, she wants to use her God given creative abilities to serve others as well as the church with event planning.
Outside of work and ministry, Jody and Heidi love getting outdoors. Camping, hiking, and the occasional surf trip to California are frequent items on the agenda. They are growing to love the Central Phoenix community for its restaurants, sports, the arts, and its people. Ultimately they plan to go wherever God will have them build the church, but for now, its Phoenix, AZ.
