Leadership

Pastor Jake has been serving at AVNaz since August of 2017 when he finally recognized God's call on him to enter full-time ministry. He and his wife Kailynn met in 2022 and have been married since February this year, and together they lead our ministries with teenagers and emerging adults. Jake is currently a licensed minister working hard, training and taking classes for ministry and theology, to soon be eligible for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene.

Pastor Frank is a retired elder in the Church of the Nazarene who has ministered for many years all over the United States and Europe as both a pastor and an evangelist. Frank has graciously been serving as our Preaching Pastor while we've been waiting and searching for a new Lead Pastor.
