At CRE8, ministry isn’t about one person—it’s about all of us working together to create spaces where people feel safe, welcomed, seen, and supported.
Every team member, from leaders to volunteers, brings unique gifts and hearts ready to serve. Meet the people who make CRE8 possible, and see some of the faces behind the mission.

Our Heart
Every person on this page is part of a bigger story: building together, serving together, and creating spaces where life change happens.
These leaders are overseeing teams ranging in size from 4 to 50+ people and remind us that ministry is a team effort!
Our commitment to safety is all encompassing, including spiritually., emotionally, and physically. Each of our leaders is vetted internally as well as by a national background check. Additionally, each leader serves in agreement with our CRE8 Community Standards
Living together, forward we can make a lasting impact.
We invite you to join us as we continue building
bigger tables, longer bridges.
