Seth serves as our fearless leader and is grateful to call Lawrence home. He graduated from Kansas State University in 1999 with a BA in English Literature (that he’ll probably never use directly) and completed the Ministry Apprenticeship Program in 2003 (MAP is a three year seminary program, and he utilizes this training everyday!) He is currently getting his Masters in Theological Studies from the Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, MO. After spending five years doing youth and college ministry in Liberty, MO, Seth moved to Lawrence to fulfill his dream of planting a Church, with his beautiful wife, Holly, and young puppy, Jack. Seth enjoys frisbees, long walks, reading, Bono, and anything and everything as long as it’s done with people.

Brian has a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree in painting from Western Michigan University and is currently attending Nazarene Theological Seminary pursuing a Master of Divinity. According to Brian, living in Lawrence encompasses many of the “finer things” in life: music, art, and mountain biking. These activities with a bit of philosophizing…mmmmm, sounds good!

Betsy is the Office Assistant at Vintage and in charge of many administrative tasks, including sending out the Weekly Update email.

Amelia leads Vintage Children’s Ministry to infants and their parents. She loves watching children grow and is fascinated by how much she learns about God’s love through them. Outside of work, she enjoys time with her husband much more.

Jami is the leader of Vintage’s music ministry. She has been involved with music and leading Worship through music, for, well, let’s just say a lot of years. What Jami loves about Lawrence is the feeling of excitement and stimulating energy that living in such a diverse, growing and creative community offers.

John plays an integral role in the music heard at Vintage. Being a co-owner of a music store, he loves the artistic, learning environment Lawrence provides.

Joy heads up the Operations and Administrative team at Vintage. Joy is a graduate of K-State with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree. She’s lived in Lawrence 2 1/2 years with her husband Aaron and their son Ian. When Joy’s not at work or doing administrative tasks she loves spending time outside at the park with her husband and son, and finds it a relaxing way to wind down at the end a day and enjoy God’s creation.

Kelsey is a Junior in the Speech Language and Hearing program at KU and plans to eventually be a speech therapist. She served as a Leadership Training Project intern with Vintage and will continue to work with the College Ministry Team. She loves the college community that Vintage has built, and is glad to be a part of it. Outside of church, she thrives off the eclectic music scene that Lawrence offers, coffee shop conversations, walks down Mass street, and “crafting parties.”

Kirk is the sound system ninja! His sound guy career started when he was only 13 and he began assisting the sound man for one of his favorite bands. Now he has a job in Lawrence in which he uses his sound-nerd skills. When he’s not behind a soundboard you may find him riding around one of Lawrence’s mountain biking trails with some of the other cycling junkies from Vintage. Moving to a cycling-friendly town like Lawrence has fueled Kirk’s new biking habit.

Kyle leads the media team at Vintage. Kyle and his wife, Amelia, moved to Lawrence 2 years ago and have grown to love the city for its wide variety of people, creative community, and many other things Lawrence has a knack for doing. In his free time, Kyle enjoys time with his wife, his dogs Chico & Maya, hanging out with friends, photography, reading, practicing yoga, and much more.

Bringing people into the transforming presence of Jesus through prayer and helping children to encounter Jesus are two of Laura’s passions. She and her husband, Dan, have lived in Lawrence for 8 years, where Laura works part-time as a psychotherapist, and full-time as a mom to her two children. She enjoys time with friends, garage sales, the Book of Common Prayer, and trips to Chicago (where she lived pre-Lawrence).

Matt is in his senior year at the KU where he is planning on getting a degree in Sociology and a minor in Leadership Studies. He started shooting and editing video in 2002 and has continued to do so whenever he has free time. One of his favorite things about Lawrence is the picture-esque KU campus, and the abundance of delicious pizzerias. (Matt is also as tough as a freight train and as fast as a gazelle…he’s a star sprinter on the track team at KU…but he is too humble to put this in his bio… Signed; the Management.)

Rick serves as the Douglas County Young Life Area Director, which encompasses Wyldlife for junior high students, Young Life for high school students, and Young Life College for college students. Rick has been involved in church and para-church youth ministries since the late 1980’s. He has been married to Amy for 18 years and has three sons ages 14, 11, and 5. Rick enjoys sipping ice cold Coca Cola Classic and other caffeinated beverages.

Molly is a junior at KU studying Social Welfare. She interned with Vintage all summer heading up the Junior High ministry. Through leading Wyld Life, she has realized more and more of her absolute love for junior high kids, and being able to share the love of God with them. She enjoys it so much, she could see herself doing it for “a long time.” Molly has lived in Lawrence all of her life, and loves coffee, reading, laughing and good conversation.

Sarah is originally from Overland Park, KS and is a junior at the University of Kansas majoring in Photo Media. When she’s not working with Vintage’s college ministry she also enjoys coffee, art, being outside, and theological conversations with her 4-year-old brother, Jake.
