Our Leadership

Believers who invest their hearts, time, families, and finances in the building of a local church deserve to have confidence in church leadership. People are looking for leaders who conduct themselves with integrity and respect when making decisions that affect their lives.

1. WE ARE GUIDED BY PASTORS.

The Pastoral staff team is led by our Lead Pastors. This team oversees the day-to-day ministry and operations of the church. These staff pastors serve the congregation and are responsible for the development of the spiritual life of the church. The Lead Pastor Leadership Team members serve as Staff Elders.

The District Church Lead Pastor Leadership Team members are:

  • CJ Hatlevig
  • Reid McNulty
  • Dan Peña
  • Dave Matthews
  • Chris Milbrath
  • Danny Fultz
  • Bo Reid

2. WE ARE PROTECTED BY TRUSTEES.

The Trustees are 7 members of the congregation who oversee the finances and direct the provision of the facilities needed by the church. They provide counsel to the Lead Pastor Leadership Team regarding the major financial commitments of the church. The Trustees serve as Non-staff Elders.

The Trustees for District Church are:

  • Teresa Kelley
  • Curt Weathers
  • Michelle Wightman
  • Bob Pacheco (Secretary/Treasurer)
  • Mark Frizell
  • Matt Cleveland

3. WE ARE STRENGTHENED BY OVERSEERS.

The Overseers are three pastors of nationally respected congregations and ministries who love District Church and are willing to provide spiritual protection to the church. They may be called in to help in accountability matters relating to the Lead Pastors if requested by the Staff Pastors or Trustees. The Overseers serve as Apostolic Elders.

The Overseers for District Church are:

  • Pastor Carlos Ortiz – Gateway Church // Austin, TX
  • Pastor Dan Palmer – River City Christian Church // Rancho Cordova, CA
  • Pastor Jonathan Wiggins – Rez Church // Loveland, CO

We’re also a part of the E.C.C. (covchurch.org) and are strengthened through that relationship.
