MEET THE TEAM

DAVID COOKE
Lead Pastor

What I love about Cold Springs Church is we don’t make it about us. Jesus wants to build his Kingdom and Cold Springs has shown radical generosity in our community and around the world to invest time and resources to equip and support leaders who are touching people with the love of Jesus. It is an amazing privilege to play a small part in what God is doing in the world to restore and strengthen lives through faith in Jesus!

ESTHER TRESS
Executive/Spiritual Formation Pastor

I am so blessed to serve by equipping people in our community as they respond to God’s amazing love and grace. I love the people I have worshiped with since 2006! I enjoy variety and participating in many areas of Cold Springs' life including, finances, life groups, women, content writing, teaching and coaching. I am passionate about God’s transforming work in our world. Thus, along with partnering leaders at Cold Springs for their development and growth, I also work with other leaders in the larger Kingdom of God. ​

STEVE YORK
Associate Pastor

I am so thankful to be part of the Cold Springs team! I have the privilege of being one of the teaching pastors. I also enjoy being a part of the men’s ministry and the young adult ministry.  Outside of Cold Springs, I focus on multiplying disciples on college campuses.

DANIEL FRANK
Student Ministries Pastor

As Youth Pastor here at Cold Springs church I lead our student ministries. I aim to create spaces of growth and passion where disciples are formed and encouraged. I also lead our young adults group. That has been such a blessing because I get to learn with my peers and I get to have leaders lead me so I can effectively lead young adults to be the salt and light in this world. I have the privilege to be a part of an amazing ministry team that comes around me and helps me grow and carry out my calling.

Roby Bacsi
Worship Arts Pastor

I am very excited and feel extremely blessed to be part of the team at Cold Springs Church. As the Worship Pastor, I consider it a privilege to work with the amazing worship ministry
to bring both prayer and music that is biblically sound so that it may be edifying and uplifting to
the family of Christ. I am always grateful when God gives this undeserving man the chance to
serve and to help others of all generations. I enjoy being a part of God’s transformational work
in people’s lives to either come to faith or grow in their walk.

JILL LAMKIN
Kids World Elementary Director

I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve in Kids World.  My prayer is for each child to grow deep in God’s love and find belonging in God’s family.  Because elementary years are a time when truth sinks deep into our hearts and takes hold for a lifetime, we focus on three basic truths in Kids World: I can trust God no matter what, I should treat others the way I want to be treated, I need to make wise choices.  I am so happy to serve alongside each of our youth and adult Kids World leaders to nurture and equip God’s kids to know and love Jesus and to love and serve others.  I’m looking forward to partnering with and serving the families of Cold Springs Church.​

CHARLOTTE FOSTER
Kids World Early Childhood 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!

Danielle Davis
Executive Admin

My role at Cold Springs Church as Executive Admin is such a blessing to me and my family. I get to work with a wonderful team of people who motivate me to be a better person and to grow in Christ. I offer support to everyone on staff, but particularly the Pastoral Staff. I love to help! I love putting faces to the names I see; so please introduce yourself if you see me. I couldn't be more excited to be a part of this team and to deepen the relationships with staff, the congregation members, and God.​

Jenni Theis
Office Admin

My family (hubby Kevin and 5 year old son Hank) have been attending Cold Springs since 2021. I feel beyond blessed to be a part of this amazing church family. As the Office Admin, I’ll be helping everywhere I’m needed including answering phones and being one of the first faces you see when you come in the door. I’m so happy to be a part of this staff full of wonderful people and to continue to grow my faith alongside them.

Lisa Vipond
Creative Arts Admin

I have a deep love for Jesus and for people, so, in my position as Ministry Admin, I am in absolute Heaven getting to grow in both! I am married to the love of my life, Shaun, and together we have 5 amazing kiddos; my “bonus baby” Samantha (24), Addison (12), Jaxx (7), Milo (2) & Bodhi (2). We have been attending Cold Springs since July of 2016, and I cannot begin to explain the many ways this beautiful church has poured into our family. On Sundays you can find me singing with the worship team and capturing video of our sweet faith family, and during the week you will find me in the church office answering phones and emails, greeting visitors (come in and say hi!), working alongside our incredible Pastors and Ministry Heads in many different capacities, creating graphics and editing video, brainstorming with the Communications Team, and serving however else I’m needed! Walking through our church’s front doors every morning brings me immeasurable joy, and getting to work with such an incredible team is such a blessing. I am so thankful to be a part of the Cold Springs Church Family!​

Dana Bringolf
Women's Ministry Director

I have been a passionate follower of Jesus Christ for over 30 years, and I love His Church! I am married to Walter (33 yrs) and mom to Isaac, Joel and his wife Alexis, and Abigail and her husband Shane. My heart’s desire for all women (including myself), is that we would recognize our value as image-bearers of God and grow more and more into the likeness of Jesus Christ as we live out each day. I am so happy to be part of the work God is doing in our community.
