DAVID COOKE
lead pastor
As the Lead Pastor of Cold Springs Church, one of the many things I love about us is the attitude it isn't about us. Jesus wants us to build his Kingdom first and CSC has shown radical generosity in our community, Mexico, Ethiopia, and across our nation. We work to see that people all over the world know the love of Jesus - how awesome is that! |

As Spiritual Formation Pastor it is my privilege to serve by equipping people in our community as they respond to God’s amazing love and grace. I love variety and I feel blessed to participate in practically all areas of CSC life. I am most passionate about God’s transforming power in our lives. Thus, through a coach-approach, I partner with leaders in their development and growth. |
ben wysong
worship arts pastor
As the Worship Arts Pastor at Cold Springs Church I get to serve alongside an amazing group of people to lead the congregation in worship through music every week. Some of my responsibilities are to create environments that allow us to encounter Jesus more fully, and to facilitate genuine worship of God throughout the life of CSC. My hope is to lead people into a life changing, growing relationship with Jesus, worshipping God authentically through every facet of life. |

I have the privilege of working with the young people here at Cold Springs Church as the Youth Pastor. Our ministry is here to create environments for young people to connect with God, equip parents to live out their calling as spiritual leaders in the home, and train the leaders of the next generation and help them find their place as a part of God’s people here at Cold Springs Church. |
sylvia fuller
kidsworld elementary director
The one thing I have enjoyed most about raising my own children has been their spiritual training. Now, as the Children’s Ministry Director, I have the privilege and responsibility of equipping and supporting those who teach our children. It brings me great joy to know that I can have a part in raising new generations of children who love God, know his voice in his Word, and follow him. |
charlotte foster
kidsworld nursery pre-school director
At Cold Springs Church we believe ministry to children begins the first day a child enters the nursery. In the nursery-preschool it is our desire to lay a foundation of trust, and to create an environment where children can experience God through His word and through His people. For the very young, what this looks like is a place where we incite wonder of God and His creation through developmentally appropriate lessons and activities. We teach three basic truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. It is our goal to make Sunday the best day in a child's week! |

In addition to assisting Pastor David, I am also part of the Spring Into Beauty ministry team and you can also find me in the nursery on some Sundays caring for the beautiful babies in our congregation. I have a passion for encouraging the importance of self-care and strive to continually grow deeper in my walk with God. |
becky wharton
senior care ministry director
I have the privilege of leading our Senior congregational ministries, as well as the joy of leading worship for our Heritage service. In all of this, I see God clearly moving among our church family, as we reach out to care for one another and our community, study God’s word, and worship individually as well as corporately. My heart’s desire is to listen to God most and obey Him quickly, so that my life will bring him glory in all things. |

As the Worship Arts Associate I have the honor of serving the community here at CSC through my passion for music. I assist the Worship Arts Pastor throughout the week, and have the joy of leading worship on the weekends. Having studied music and voice, I am eager to apply the skills I have learned in our weekend worship experience, as we seek to pull back the curtain of Heaven - to more fully experience the Kingdom of God. |

sam ferrand
ministry admin
As Ministry Admin I have the fun job of working in the front office, which I think it like the kitchen in the home: everyone gathers there and it's a great place to be! I also get to be part of the Stories Team. We create videos and photos to tell people's God stories. I love my job here at Cold Springs - each day brings something a little different and it's great to see all the ways God is working. |

My name is Christina Reeves and I am the Women's Ministry Director. I am married with four children, and I also have a granddaughter. Our family has been attending Cold Springs Church since the Fall of 2009. My desire is to provide opportunities for women to connect with and learn from one another and God's Word.

I look forward to continuing those events that promote this and exploring new ways this can be accomplished. |
