Jeremy and Lucy are so blessed to be a part of the RiverTree family. They are crazy about Jesus, His Church, and their three amazing kids: Fender, Journey, and Tele (who named these kids?).

Jeremy’s heart is to worship Jesus and creative environments for people to encounter the Real Jesus. Most weekends he is preaching and teaching the Bible in creative and practical ways. But you might also find him playing in the band, hanging with kids and students, or greeting people in the hallways. Make sure and say hello if you see him.

If you are looking for a place to call home, we would love to have you join us. But be warned: We love to have FUN! We take Jesus very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves very seriously. Here at RTJ, we strive to be a community in authentic relationships where you may not know everyone, but you are known by someone. This way, a big church can feel a little smaller. 
– Pastor Jeremy

Steve is our powerhouse sound and light guy! You'll see him on Sunday mornings making sure we all look and sound our best. While he's a pro at this industry, he and his wife are getting to learn the "parent industry" as they welcomed their first child, Beckett, into the world earlier this year!

If you have spent any amount of time with us, chances are, you have met Gary (bonus points if he's asked you to be in a video). He hides out in the video booth on Sundays, but he loves intentional conversation–especially over Starbucks!

Ariel oversees all things kids here at RTJ! That's where her heart truly is. Pouring into volunteers, knowing kiddo's names, helping parents navigate the scaries that come along with leaving their child to attend services...she is a rockstar! In addition to serving so well, she is busy enjoying being married to her husband, Eric!

Eric is a Jackson grad which makes it even better that he LOVES sharing Jesus with the next generation. He leads our men and young adults so well. On Sundays, you will almost always find him helping out in the Elementary hallway (most likely dancing around with the kids). He is the most fun and a great husband to his wife, Ariel! 

Cindy leads our food service team that provides tasty lunches for our school kiddos as well as meals and decor for our special events. It's safe to say that food is her love language!

Danielle is passionate about helping make the big church feel small. Her outgoing personality and kind heart make her the perfect fit for her job. She is her kids' biggest cheerleader and rocks that Glenoak gear! 

Debbie is known for her heart. The level of pastoral care, that comes so naturally to her, is unmatched. That is why she is the perfect fit to lead our Prayer Team! Having a heart like this also makes her a top-tier grandma to those grandbabies. If you ask our staff, they would also tell you that she has the BEST laugh.

Beth's biggest passion is our students. She thrives in chaos and thus is the perfect fit for Student Min. Our students say she is the most fun and loving leader...I think our staff would agree, too.

In a church that is always changing, with big goals, and dreams, the projects are NEVER ending. Rodney is our best "yes-man" and can build/fix/maintain just about anything!

Ellie wears many different hats here–and we are so thankful she does! She is our church mom–she makes sure everything we need for events (scheduling, decor, food, etc) gets done. In addition to serving our campus so well, she is a rockstar mom to her 3 young-adult kiddos; Jonah, Jailei, & Jasmine. You might catch her walking around the park on a sunny day!

 

We are SO glad Adam is here with us learning and contributing to His Kingdom in partnership Polaris Christian Church located up in his hometown of Brunswick. In his free time, he likes to root for the Cavs, Browns, and Guardians (sometimes even good teams) with his wife, Dr. Lindsey McMahan, and their two kids; Mackenzie (9) and Grady (6).

Linda is our evening Welcome Center Receptionist. She loves the crazy that is evening-church programming: classes, student events, worship practice....she's got it handled!

Lucy is the other half of the Redman-duo! Not only is she Jeremy's right-hand woman, but she is a rockstar mom (who also keeps it real) and has a passion for pouring into the women here at RTJ.

Amanda's passion is for the next generation! Most Sundays you will find her in the nursery and preschool hallway. We are so thankful for Amanda's heart. She gets to do life with her husband and two boys: Aiden and Noah. Fun fact: Noah was born on Easter Sunday!

Sonia runs our Food Pantry ministry on campus this includes helping the members of our community receive food, coordinating volunteers, and heading up our Backpack Program. Sonia enjoys traveling with her husband and recently just became a grandma!

Leah is the perfect fit to help coordinate our Elementary school kids. She is so fun and full of energy! We are so glad to have her here on staff.

You will usually see Kay in the mornings during school drop-off time. She LOVES getting to know the kiddos and their families that walk through our doors.

Haley handles all things web, social & design! On weekends you'll see her all over the place capturing content for socials to show off what makes RTJ so unique and special! In her free time, she adjunct teaches at local universities and hangs with her husband and toddler, August.
