Our Team

Chad

Founding / Lead Pastor

Chad and Jessica started Red Tree with a meeting in their home in October 2011 with 13 people. The church launched on August 18th, 2012 and the rest is history. Chad is a gifted communicator and teacher, convicted about speaking the truth as plainly as possible. God has given him a vision and a passion for helping people meet Jesus, and each week he shares God’s word and its practical application in our daily lives. Chad uses a very unique gifting of humor to relay the message of Jesus every weekend. Chad is married to Jessica Mathes and they have two boys, Brody and Ridge.

Mike chooses music as one of the many ways that he can do this. Mike’s biggest hope for the Church is that will be a community of people all united under one purpose: to love, serve, and worship Jesus. Mike loves all things sports, outdoors, boardgames, and spending quality time with people. Mike is married to his wonderful wife Bethany.
