Our Team
Garrit Soney | Director of Operations
Garrit and his wife Jane moved to Colorado in March of 2023 after feeling called to help with church planting efforts in Englewood. The Soneys grew up in Greenville, NC and lived in central NC for the previous 6 years. Garrit works in municipal parks and recreation and Jane is a registered nurse. The Soneys love spending time in the outdoors, playing board games, going to sporting events, and traveling.
Julia Hodges | Director of Children’s Ministry
Julia grew up in Texas alongside her six brothers, two sisters, and a large variety of farm animals. She moved to Colorado in 2021 where she met her husband, Josh, and the two quickly caught the vision of planting a church in Englewood. Josh works in the engineering world, and Julia teaches science to elementary-aged kiddos. Julia and Josh love playing card games, climbing mountains, and finding new dinner recipes to add to their current favorites.
Andrew Wiser | Director of Worship
Andrew grew up in Oregon and moved out to Colorado in 2017 to study music at Colorado Christian University where he met his wife, Tarah. He met JP at Deer Creek Church while interning there for a year and a half before joining the church plant. Andrew and his wife both enjoy rock climbing, frequenting their favorite coffee shops, and going on adventures with their dog, Luna.
JonPaul Watson | Pastor
JonPaul (JP) met his wife Carrie in Richmond, VA. After tying the knot in 2007, they moved to St. Louis, MO, and JP began his studies at Covenant Seminary. A few more moves and four kids later (Lucy, Judah, Luke, and Jane), the Watsons planted roots in Greenville, NC, where JP worked as a pastor and Carrie began her degree in library sciences. Feeling called to church planting, the Watsons accepted a residency with the Western Church Planting Network and moved out to Englewood. The whole crew loves music, books, podcasts, and dinners/hangouts that go long into the evening.
