Adam Barton
Lead Pastor
Our lead pastor, Adam settled for ministry after it became clear the NBA wasn’t going to work out. While he claims to have made a three-pointer over Lebron James, ministry is where God has called him. He and his wife, Lisa, live in Wadsworth with their children Trinity, Gideon, Ezekiel, and MJ. Adam has a Masters in Church Leadership from Malone University and currently serves as a professor with Grace University.
Jonathan Swaney
Worship Pastor
Jonathan’s love for music and God come together in his passion to lead worship as our worship pastor. He and his wife, Tera, were called to Wadsworth from Pittsburgh and are unfortunately Steelers fans. Jesus loves Jonathan anyway, and he’ll still go to Heaven. While Jonathan and Tera are young and haven’t started growing their family yet, they do have several really nice guitars.
Scott Price Jr.
Youth Pastor
Scott has worked in student ministry for… a long time! He has a motor that will not quit which is pretty useful in working with youth. Scott loves his daughter Leesha, son Logan, and his awesome wife Melinda, whose has the challenge of taking care of 3 kids (including Scott). He has a youth ministry degree from Liberty University and a Master’s degree from Moody Bible Institute and is the director of IGNITE Student Outreach Ministry.
Chris Dewar
Executive Pastor
Chris rounds out our staff with a ridiculous love of the little details that make organizations run more smoothly. He spent the past 15 years planting churches in Canton, Ohio. His wife Christy has indulged his love of ridiculous ministries for the past 13 years. Together they have three children, Ayla, Audra, and Anna, as well as a puppy named Leo. He has a B.A. in Bible and Theology from Malone University, and an M.A. in Military History from Norwich University. In his free time, Chris enjoys bicycle riding, weight lifting, and indulging in his love for science fiction and other nerdy pursuits.
