Sr. Pastor-Steve Morley
      Steve has been our Senior Pastor since July 2003. Born in Leeds, England, Steve came to us via Idaho and a couple of other places. He graduated from Point Loma Nazarene College with a B.A. in Biblical Theology, and received a Master of Arts degree in Missiology. Steve first felt God’s call into full time ministry while living in London, England in 1975. This call was again confirmed during the summer of 1984 while on a mission trip to the Republic of South Africa. It was also on this mission trip that Steve met his future bride, Annette. They were married in 1989 and have been blessed with two beautiful children, Elizabeth & Matthew. Steve loves his family! He also loves the Kansas City Chiefs. But his passion is Jesus, his Savior & Lord!


Youth Pastor-Chris Desgroseillier
      Having been born and raised in Yakima, WA, the Tri-Cities is somewhat of a familiar place to Chris. At 15 years old he embraced Christ as his Lord and Savior after someone invited him to a youth worship service. At 19 he accepted God's call on him to be a youth pastor. Chris attended Northwest Nazarene University and graduated in 2004 with a BA in Religion with a specific emphasis in Youth Ministry. After NNU he served as Youth Pastor in the small town of Pomeroy, WA. In January of 2008 he came on staff with us here in Richland.
      Chris has been married to his wife Kristen since August 8th of 2003. You can find Kristen leading worship in our Aldersgate service on Sunday mornings. On February of 2007 they were blessed with their first child and daughter, Chloe Joy.
      The passion of Chris's life is loving God and people. Christ has changed his life forever and he feels called to introduce others to the life altering God that he encountered. Within that call, Chris has a specific passion and burden for the youth of today. He believes they are an important part of the family of God today and an essential part of who we are becoming in the future.


Compassionate Ministries Pastor-Amy Shultz
      Amy joined the staff at Richland First Church in March of 2006 after serving as their volunteer Compassionate Ministry director since 1999. Amy answered a call to formal ministry and is currently enrolled in the Modular Course of Study. She works as Pastor of Compassionate Outreach, providing care and visitation to church and community members. She also serves as the Executive Director of Jericho Road Ministries, a crisis ministry serving Tri-Cities. Amy and her husband Marlin have been married since 1979. They have 4 adult children, 2 granddaughters and two dogs. Amy enjoys singing, reading, drawing, writing and sewing. Her favorite things are strong coffee and front porch sitting. 


New Children's and Family Pastor coming in August!! Pastor Sarah Voigt
      Sarah comes to us from various places, having been raised in a pastor’s family, but most recently from Kansas City, Missouri where she graduated from Nazarene Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity in May 2009. Since May 2005, when Sarah and Ted came together in marriage, life has been full of many adventures as they have grown together in love, friendship, and their relationship with God. They thank God for each other and the ways God continues to work in their lives. They are looking forward to new adventures in Richland and getting to know everyone!
      For Sarah, children and family have an incredible place and value in the church body. As a child it was through her own family and the church family that Sarah came to know and be known in relationship with God. Through the encouragement and guidance of church family members, Sarah embraced God’s calling into full-time ministry. The church, this family who is seeking to more perfectly love God and each other, needs each other – especially children! May we all continue to grow together in our relationship with God and each other as we strive to share the love of God with others.
