ADVISORY TEAMEven though we're such a young church, we've always felt the need to involve several of our experienced and mature leaders in our processes of decision making. The advisory team serves to help guide staff as they seek to lead the church. They are a sounding board for any major decisions and they have oversight/approval on budget matters. They provide accountability in matters of theology and practice. Advisory team deals with relational and leadership problems and concerns as they arise in our fellowship and work to resolve any issues of conflict and needs for pastoral care. They seek to guard and support the vision of our church and to support and reinforce the staff. Members are selected for their spiritual, personal and relational maturity as well as specific skills which they might bring to the team. Members of our current advisory team are:

Kevin
is the lead pastor at h.k10. He leads our staff and many of the volunteers
who serve here. Kevin came to the h.k10 project as part of the staff
at our "mother church," Heartland Community Church in Overland
Park. At heartland Kevin was the director of the Gathering, a college/post-college
ministry as well as director of the leadership training project, a summer
internship program. Kevin has a BA in Music Theory from Kansas and is
a graduate of the MAP program. When asked about his philosophy of ministry
Kevin said, "I really believe in the church, I think it is God's
plan for reaching the world with the message of the Kingdom. More and
more everyday I'm convinced that my job is to live a life of humble
discipleship and service to the church...that's how I try to approach
every day." Kevin and his wife, Allison, live in Olathe with their
two boys, Sam and Ben. Kevin is into golf, jazz piano (he's a working
jazz player), reading, movies and all things KU athletics. Kevin grew
up attending an Episcopal Church, but came to faith through a high school
ministry called YoungLife. 
Tim
is one of the 2 founding pastors of h.k10 along with Kevin. Having already
been a staff member at a successful church plant (Lakeland Community
Church/1996), Tim now leads several key divisions including, Programming,
Community and Ministry Connections. He is also the primary worship leader
on Sundays and leads the band. Tim came to h.k10 from the band Satellite
Soul, which was signed to Ardent/Forefront records and toured nationally,
releasing 3 records nationally and recording 8 top ten songs. Now his
passion is for the church and for learning, as he is a little over 1/3
of the way through an MDiv at Nazarene Theological Seminary. When asked
about his philosophy of ministry Tim replied, "I really hope that
I can help h.k10 become a place where people begin to see themselves
in the story of God. I believe that God is making all things new and
my hope is to help lead our church in the discussion of what it means
to participate in the Kingdom of God." Tim has a BS in Life Science
from Kansas State University and lives just off K-10 in Olathe with
his wife Kristin and two boys, Nicholas and Lewis. Tim is an avid reader
who "loves a good spiritual conversation more than just about anything."
His hobbies are playing in bands, producing records, reading and blogging. 
Kerrie is the Director of the Children's Ministry Division at h.k10
where she leads a team of outstanding volunteer leaders who do ministry
with kids. When asked about her philosophy of ministry Kerrie said "I
love kids and think that they are the future of our church. If you can
teach a child about Christ at a young age, Jesus will be in their heart
no matter what life throws at them, or where they go. You should never
bore a child with God, God is cool and FUN! Parents should be the spiritual
leaders of their children, so the church should come along side and
partner with parents in teaching kids about Jesus." Kerrie attended
Bradley University in Peoria Illinois where she met her husband Jeff.
They live just off of K-10 highway in Lenexa and have three children
Kadi, Parker and Alaina, and a dog named Bailey. Kerrie grew up going
to the Catholic Church, but comes to us directly from Heartland Community
Church in Overland Park where she was on staff for 10 years as a children's
minister. She loves traveling "anywhere, anytime!" and her
kids are her favorite pastime. 
Seth’s role when he came on staff was to be the Lawrence Campus pastor. Since then, God has been working and growing the Lawrence campus into a ministry that clearly needs to stand on its own two legs. Seth is leading a new phase in Lawrence during which they will become their own autonomous church over the next few years. When asked about his philosophy of ministry, Seth says “The Great Commandment and the Great Commission fuel my passion for ministry. I love the Acts 2 Church, and I believe that Jesus is encountered in life-changing community. I am very relational by nature, and believe that ministry is all about relationships. I’m excited about creating a Church in Lawrence that truly taps into Lawrence culture, engages the community where we live, and reaches people who are far from Jesus and bring them into a hopeful and vibrant community of faith.” Seth has a BA in English Literature from Kansas State University, Certificate of Advanced Ministry Training from the MAP Program, and is a Licensed Minister through the Evangelical Church Alliance. He’s married to Holly and they make their home in Lawrence. No kids yet unless you count their puppy named Jack. Seth grew up going to church and got connected with Heartland Community Church as an intern in college. He served as youth and college pastor at Shoal Creek Community Church in Liberty, MO for 5 years before joining the h.k10 staff. His hobbies are reading, frisbee, or just about anything with People. 
Kristen’s role as Administrative Assistant/Office Manager involves an incredible amount of flexibility and patience. She has a hand in much of what goes on behind the scenes at our church - things like phones, mail, email, announcements, bookkeeping and scheduling, printing, marketing, planning etc. In addition, Kristen works closely with Kevin, Tim and Ben in getting things ready for Sundays, helping them with task focused in order to free them up to focus on ministry. When asked about her philosophy of ministry, Kristen said “Having this opportunity has been a great blessing. It allows me to utilize my strengths in a way that can benefit the h.k10 ministry and it’s really fun to be involved in something important.” Kristen grew up in Kansas City and attended College Church of the Nazarene “until I went to college and took a walk down a different path! Fortunately, God didn’t give up on me and guided me to hk.10. Ken and I started coming the first Sunday at Meadow Lane and now, here we are!” Kristen has three almost complete degrees: Art Education, Art History, and Ceramics having studied at Southern Nazarene University (on a softball scholarship), Emporia State, & JCCC. Kristen has been married to her husband Ken for 7 years. They have two kiddos, Skylee 4, Taven 1. They also have a 9 year old cat. Kristen is really into art—especially art history—sports and books.
