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!

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. ​

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.

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.

SYLVIA FULLER
Kids World Elementary Director

As the Kids World Elementary Director, I am excited to: CREATE an environment where kids experience God through His Word and through His people, EQUIP parents and leaders by partnering with them in discipling kids, and training young leaders to IMPACT their generation today. Elementary years are the years for kids to engage with God’s Word and discover the basic truths that they can trust God no matter what, they need to make the wise choice, and they should treat others the way they want to be treated. When these basic truths are applied, kids develop a deeper faith, make wiser choices, and build stronger relationships. I look forward to serving you!

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.​

Lisa Vipond
Ministry 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!​

Katelyn Gilbert
Women's Ministry Director

​I'm overjoyed to have the privilege of being your Women's Ministry Director. This is indeed a special place to worship! I view this role as one of service; to assist you in the creation and facilitation of all things "Women" in our beautiful church and beyond to our Sisters in the greater community. Dear sister in Christ YOU are seen and so loved! 

My family has been worshiping, growing and serving at Cold Springs for 10 years. I am honored each day to ask "Heavenly Father how would you have me lead and serve your women? How would you have us spend our time of service, fellowship and mentorship?"

What an exciting adventure to be on together!
