  • John MONTALVO

    Lead Pastor

    John and his wife Lisa have been married and involved in ministry since 1997. In his spare time, he loves to fish and she is passionate about running. Together they love their family, their church, and their community. A few years ago, John and Lisa stepped out in faith to plant a local church which currently meets in a retail location where services are held every Sunday morning at 10:30. Throughout the entire process, the Lord was faithful to guide and provide with every new step. For this the Montalvo's give Him all due honor, praise, and glory. "Get Connected. Stay Connected." became the all-encompassing mission statement to which the church was called and perfectly sums up our desire to connect the world to a saving faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, to Christian community, and to the Great Commission.

  • Skylar CraveN & Marlee Montalvo

    Worship Ministers
    God has blessed Connection Church with a gifted Worship Team. Their goal each week is to lift up the Lord Jesus Christ, to give Him praise, honor, and glory, and to lead the Church to worship Him in the Spirit and in the Truth. Their heart is to have Spirit filled services where the Lord is glorified, the Church is edified, and a place where others are connected to the Lord Jesus Christ. Skylar and Marlee also have a vision to see others become involved with the Worship Team at Connection. So if you're interested, come on by and introduce yourself.       

  • JENNIFER LAMBETH

    Children's Minister

    Jennifer has always loved children! From their total innocence to their pure love for Jesus, everything about kids lights up her world. Here at Connection she serves faithfully as our Children's Minister and enjoys seeing the happiness on a kid's face when they first learn something new about Jesus or the Bible. For Jennifer, there's really just no better feeling in the world than when that child makes a personal decision to follow Christ with all of their heart and commit their life to Him. She would love for you and your kids to be a part of the Connection family!
