Hello, neighbor.

We love the good news. We are giving our lives to trying to spread it. Our ministry passions are clear bible teaching, ethnic diversity, and growing our ability to truly love each other.

Previous to starting Good News in the Neighborhood, Luke was an associate pastor at Faithful Central Bible Church, a historic African American congregation in South Los Angeles. Before that, Luke was a pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel for 13 years, serving as a youth pastor, helping start Vertical Worship, and leading many initiatives + ministries. He has degrees from Moody Bible Institute + Talbot School of Theology.

We are high school sweethearts who have grown up into partners in life and ministry. We are raising three lions and a princess – Carter (16), Reid (14), Graham (12), Felicity (7).

Luke loves playing golf and a good book. Kristen loves hospitality + a long walk with a loved one. Our family loves sports, rooting hard for the Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears and Tottenham Hotspur.

Together we write a newsletter that drops every Saturday morning, ‘Good News Weekly.’
