Chris Brannon - Head Pastor was born and raised in Lebanon, Oregon. He was introduced to Christ in 1975 as a teenager in the small church of Lebanon Chapel, led by Founding Pastor Keith Stroup. Chris married his High School sweetheart Pam in this Lebanon church and grew up in Christ there. Maturing in Christ also meant filling leadership roles in the church as they were ready for them. Four daughters were born to Chris and Pam during this time; Karisa, Kathryn, Meghan and Emily. In 1991, Chris was ordained as an Elder of the church of Lebanon Chapel and was sent to Graham in 1992 on a Church planting team.



Tom Maus - Associate Pastor has been attending the church since 1992, when he and his family helped plant the church. Before this time he was a homegrown and lifelong Alaskan. Tom has been serving as the Associate Pastor since 2001. He has a great sense of humor and loves to be around people. One of his favorite pastimes is telling or listening to tales and humorous stories. Tom has a passion to connect people with God's amazing love and the wonderful purpose there is in serving Him. Among the things that he oversees at the church are our Small Group Ministry and our Connect Team.

Justin Henderson - Youth/Associate Pastor has been a part of the church since his senior year of high school. He was born and raised in the Graham-Kapowsin area and is proud to consider himself one of the lasting, true locals of this majestic section of earth. Justin began serving in ministry in 2004 after spending two years in Colorado Springs in an intense discipleship training program known as 24-7. In the winter of 2007, he married his beautiful wife, Emily. He can usually be found pursuing some sort of outrageous adventure, whether it be hiking in the mountains or tagging behind his wife coupon-shopping. Justin is nuts about the local church and loves being included in Christ’s plan for the world.

Jaime Scheidler has attended The Church at Cedar Springs for the last five years. She has been involved in the Children’s Ministry for about four years. Jaime feels very passionate about the children and has a desire to see all of the children in the church experience a personal relationship with Jesus that will carry on into their teenage and adult lives. She has recently continued her schooling in Early Childhood Education. Jaime is also a mom of three children.





Jake Swick has been attending The Church at Cedar Springs since 1992. He has served as a youth leader since 2002, and teaches regularly. He had a passion for the church, especially for the young people, and his dream is that every single youth that attends this church will get involved in the kingdom of God and fulfill God’s plan for their lives. His favorite verse is Gal 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” and it is this verse that he lives his life by.
