Our Team
Jay Denton, Pastor
Jay grew up just outside of Raleigh, NC and has been pastoring for over 14 years. He and Bethany have been married for close to 18 years and have three daughters (Laine, Remy, and Breck). The Dentons like to ride bikes in their neighborhood, read books, and cook great food to share with friends around their table. You can find Jay playing tennis or golf, paddle boarding around Harbor Island, or exploring the best coffee Wilmington has to offer.
Brad Myers, Worship Coordinator
Brad grew up in West Virginia and has been married to Lucy since 2019. They love going on walks to the local dog park with their hound, Rooster. Brad is a band teacher at a local middle school, a fan of the Baltimore Orioles, and enjoys a good cup of coffee. The Myers love being with friends, listening to music, and being outside.
Lauren Allen, Ministry Director
Lauren is a Wilmington native and moved back from Raleigh, NC in 2020. She is married to Patrick, and they have two children, Grady and Mary Scott. The Allens enjoy hosting friends in their home and spending time at the beach. You can find Lauren taking walks in the neighborhood or adventuring around Wilmington with her kids.
