Missy grew up in Kansas City, Missouri in the 80’s during the formational years of the Vineyard movement. Intimate worship, powerful moves of the Holy Spirit, and deep love for Jesus experienced through the Vineyard deeply shaped her faith and daily life with Jesus.

Missy has been married to her high school sweetheart, Kevin, for 22 years. Together they have served at Vineyard churches and church plants in Missouri, Kansas, Louisiana, and Colorado. Currently Kevin and Missy co-pastor Vineyard Community Church in Grand Junction, CO, a campus of the Downtown Vineyard Church.

Professionally, Missy is passionate about building healthy organizations and has served bi-vocationally for her entire career. She currently is the Executive Director, Business Development for a national medical research company where she manages large pharma partnerships and systems development. She recently co-chaired the VUSA committee to write the Lilly Financial Wellbeing of Pastors grant and is passionate about developing sustainable infrastructure and gathering resources to better care for Vineyard pastors.

Missy holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with concentration in Public Relations. She’s completed two semesters Fuller Theological Seminary towards a Master’s in Intercultural Studies.
