PASTOR: Christopher McRorey

He attended William Jewell College and Central Baptist Theological Seminary. Christopher and his wife, Jill, have three daughters under the age of 5 that keep them hopping. In his free time, Christopher enjoys playing his guitar, listening to music, and trying to slow the pace of life down. His hope and passion for New Journey is to make it a place that continues to cultivate authentic, Christ-centered leaders that emerge from the church to be the people God has called them to be.

She's taken the ministry from a notch above a babysitting service to a full-on Sunday school class with a wonderful team of volunteers and an excellent curriculum. Her years as a third grade elementary school teacher are definitely being put to good use in this new role for her.
