Dennis has a heart for families, men and for young people. He is committed to the Jesus calling of discipling those who call themselves followers of Christ Jesus our Lord & Savior!  This is why he was installed as the pastor of family care here at Word of Life. He has a rich passion for the Word of God and for adhering to it's truth, for it contains the Word's of Life!

He has worked in various industries at the management/regional level and in training capacities. He knew God called him to be in the ministry as a pastor when he was very young, but he didn't answer that call until 2022. 

Chase married his high school sweetheart Katlynn Bolster in 2016. He knows that God has blessed him immensely with and through her.
 
Hobbies that he has include snowboarding, water skiing, and Frisbee golf.
 
Chase has a bachelor's degree in political science which has given him useful insight into the arguments against Christianity. He hopes to use this to reach a generation that is walking away from God. In leading the Youth group he has learned much about sharing the Word of God in an impactful way. His hope is to inspire deep contemplation of the scriptures each time they meet.

Kimberly is a wife and mom who has homeschooled her two kids for ten years. She moved with her family from Chandler, Arizona, to Liberty Lake, Washington in 2009. She loves the beauty of the Inland Northwest, but misses the desert sometimes too, usually in February.
 
Kimberly earned her Bachelor's degree in Christian Education from Grand Canyon University, and served as Children's Ministry Director in a volunteer capacity at Lakeside Church for six years, where she also created some Sunday School curriculum of her own. She loves kids and is passionate to see them grow in their knowledge of God's Word and their love of Jesus!
 
Her other passion is drama, so you may see her onstage performing in church dramas from time to time. In her free time she loves to read, dance, and when she can find the time, make something crafty.
