LEAD PASTORS: Greg and Tara Hintz
Greg and Tara Hintz have been in ministry together for over decade. They started in 1999, working in a homeless shelter, playing music during church services and feeding the hungry right after the service. Then they began ministering to children as Greg took a position as a Director of Youth and Family Ministries/Office Administrator at a non-denominational church in Lorain, Ohio. After a brief hyatus selling real estate, Greg decided to reenter ministry and took a job as a Director of Youth and Family Ministries at a Presbyterian Church in Arizona. This is where God planted a vision in his heart to plant a church.

Greg works full time in ministry reaching out in the city of Wickenburg and teaches at two local clinics working with patients who struggle with eating disorders. He also has a passion for the needy and works tirelessly to assure that the many needs of the community are being met. Tara works hard in the ministry and loves being a mother and raising her three wonderful boys ~ Dylan, Zion and Xander. She is also actively involved in the local chapter of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) and reaching the women of Wickenburg >> EMAIL GREG <<

KID'S CHURCH COORDINATORS: Dan and Angela Bernhardt

Dan and Angela Bernhardt took a “leap of faith” in August of 2006, moving to Arizona from Wisconsin. Dan had accepted a counseling position with the state of Arizona and within three weeks they were packed and had said goodbye to their family. This season of their lives provided them with many ups and downs as they learned what it meant to live a life of faith and let God take the driver’s seat of their lives. They committed their lives to Christ in the fall of 2006 and were baptized on the 4th of July in 2008. God has had them on an incredible faith journey ever since.

They are both currently employed with a treatment center in Wickenburg, AZ where they are actively treating those suffering with eating disorders and other co-existing disorders through Biblically based recovery. They have been active in the ministry working with various churches in middle and high school youth ministries, nurseries, teaching Sunday School and hosting a Bible Study in their home. “It’s been an amazing journey and we are so honored that God has this plan for us”. >> EMAIL DAN AND ANGELA<<

WORSHIP LEADER AND NURSERY COORDINATOR: Dave and Rebecca Hoyt

Dave has a long history of making music in church.  His mom has been a choir director in churches for over 35 years.  He began playing guitar in high school, and has been a singer his whole life.  Growing up in the great city of New Orleans, he has a very wide appreciation for music of all types.  He has lived in the Valley for 8 years with his wife Rebecca, daughter Gina, and son Grayson.  Dave works as a mobile disc jockey, as well as at an eating disorder treatment center here in Wickenburg.
 
Dave was the interim praise band leader at a church here in Wickenburg until a guy by the name of Greg Hintz came along and was hired as the full-time leader.  The two became, and remained friends. He is excited to share God's love and excitement through music. He is also happy that God's only requirement is that we "make a joyful noise".

 

A Phoenix native, Rebecca has volunteered with kids in church for years and works as a Long Term Care case manager in the valley.  She is very excited about providing a safe, caring, and fun environment for your kids!>> EMAIL DAVE AND REBECCA<<
