He started attending and volunteering at CCKF in 2005, serving over 2 years as the Youth and College Pastor.  He loves the opportunity to be part of the body at CCKF, to teach God’s word, train and raise up disciples and leaders, and share the love of God. He is blessed to be a Pastor, living out our CCKF mission of Loving God, Loving Others, and Making Disciples. One of Russ’ favorite verses is John 3:30, which records John the Baptist’s words, “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
