Meet the Team

Todd was born in Bellevue and raised in Kirkland. He has served as a pastoral leader and in leadership development for the last 25 years in New York, Virginia, and Washington State. He is passionate about people and their journeys and desires to see the church activated towards personal surrender, missional outreach, and experience the fullness of all God has designed for it. Todd believes wholeheartedly that an encounter with Jesus changes everything.    

Todd and Angela have three daughters and one grandson, their greatest joy and triumph. Angela was born and raised in upstate New York, loves Jesus, and ministers to people inside and outside the church. When Todd has free time, he likes to catch up on reading, people-watching, and enjoying the outdoors.

Todd would enjoy the chance to connect further.

Jeanne was born in California, but grew up in Kirkland. She has warm memories of learning how to sail on Lake Washington as a youth with her grandfather. Jeanne graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle with a long career in creative direction before uprooting and moving to Charlotte, NC where she eventually met and married her husband, Christian.

Jeanne and Christian have one lovely daughter, Viviana, and two dogs, Gus and Daisy. Jeanne’s family is her heart and soul! In her free time, she enjoys a multitude of crafts and interior decorating, sipping a good strong cup of coffee, grooving to 70s and 80s hits, shopping Puget Sound Hobby Lobbies, and collaborating with her husband over the dreams and plans they share for their modest 1940s home.  She would love to connect with you over coffee!

Ken first attended WAChurch after a friend invited him several years ago. When he walked through the front doors, he immediately knew this was his church family.
