Michael is a co-pastor of the church. You can find him preaching next to Suzanne most Sundays, with the youth group on Wednesdays, and playing with his grandkids (Ava Grace and Hudson) on others. Although he has all the normal pastoral duties, you can usually find him doing something technical around the church.

Suzanne is a co-pastor of the church. You'll notice her preaching next to Michael on most Sundays, and with the youth group on Wednesdays. She loves her grandkids and spoils them rotten with surprises.  She's sincerely responsible for most of the great ideas we implement around here. She loves people and always has a heart for the underdog.

His ability to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds, combined with his passion for teaching and mentorship, makes him a dynamic part of the Heritage family. 

Patrick is our tech director.  You will never notice that he's there, and he likes it that way.  You would notice if he wasn't though.  He's the glue that keeps our worship services together.  And yes, he's playing that trombone.  He's kind of awesome at it.

Scott is a United Methodist pastor with 16 years of ministry experience—many of them spent wrangling teenagers, building meaningful community, offering pastoral care, and inviting people to join the journey of faith (no experience required). He serves as Chair of the Board for the JSU Wesley Foundation and is a voting member of the Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry, where he helps college students find spiritual community, ask big questions, and occasionally remember to eat real meals. Before answering the call to ministry full-time, Scott worked as a project and technology manager in the aerospace and medical industries—so yes, he can both talk about faith and read a spreadsheet without fear. These days, his most important role is chasing after his daughter as she sings and dances her way through life.

Alisa (pronounced uh-leesa) is the official herder of cats at Heritage.  She juggles thousands of bits of information and duties a week and rarely misses a beat.  Add to that she is a wonderful mother of two littles, and you get what the inside of her mind must do each day to survive.  Be nice to her. She's the reason you always know what's coming up next at Heritage.

Dia is our preschool director.  She wrangles little kids all week at Heritage with a smile.  She loves the kids in our preschool and is amazing with the parents.  We are blessed to have her on our team.
