leadership team

lead pastor

Alex has been in ministry since 2004 and has served as Lead Pastor of New Life Community Church since 2022. His passion is simple—helping people meet Jesus and live out their faith in a way that creates a fuller heaven fuller and an emptier hell.

He’s the proud father of three boys and spends many afternoons coaching high school distance runners, where faith and life lessons often show up between the miles. Alex brings energy, authenticity, and a deep love for God’s Word to everything he does—both in the church and in the community.

Pastor Jim is the founding pastor of New Life Community Church and has served in ministry for over 40 years in the Kansas City area. He started New Life in 1989 with a heart to see people encounter Jesus and grow in their faith. When he’s not preaching or leading, Jim enjoys spending time with his wife, Debbie, watching the Chiefs, and playing music.
