Pastor Casey was raised on a small farm in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada. He has been married to his wife Dana for 26 years. They have 2 adult children; Britni and Ashlyn.
Pastor Casey is a graduate of Christ for the Nations in Dallas, Texas. He believes that the church today should be a place of green pastures and still waters. His vision for New Life Church on The Rock is that the Church is a place to believe, where the word of God is taught and preached in truth and integrity; the church is a place to belong, where believers find a place of security and community; and that the church is a place to become, where all are invited to discover their gifts, talents, and God ordained destiny.
Pastor Casey has a passion to see the broken healed and the oppressed set free by the working of the Holy Spirit. He also has a heart for missions. As the president of Agua Ministries Canada, Casey has led several drilling teams into Mexico to drill water wells.
Cheri grew up in Lumberton, Texas in a family that loved Jesus. She gave her heart to God at a young age but it was in her teen years that she learned that loving Jesus made her truly love people. Cheri is a graduate of Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas and has a Bachelor of Administration Degree. She has been in ministry for over 20 years. Her heart beats for people (especially teenagers) and seeing them connect with the love God has for them.
Her vision for BreakAway Youth Ministry is to raise up a generation that lives passionately for the One True God that is passionate about them; to Break Away From The Crowd and be His light in their schools, families, jobs and to all the world. Following the Vision of New Life, BreakAway Youth Ministry offers a place for teenagers to believe in the love Jesus has for them, a place to belong knowing they are accepted and a place to become the men and women God has designed them to be.

She has also been a member of New Life from the very beginning. Her family played an important part in the plant of New Life COTR. Jamie and her husband Chris were married in 2003 and they have a five year old little girl.
Her desire and passion for worship runs very deep. Jamie’s vision for worship at New Life is for it to reach a place where each and every believer would experience freedom in expressing their love to the Father with absolutely no limits. She believes worship is a lifestyle, and that each and every choice we make throughout the day is our worship song to God, she loves the way Louie Giglio says it,
" Worship is our response, both personal and corporate, to God for who He is and what He has done, expressed in and by the things we say, and the way we live."
Jamie is very honored to be able to lead the congregation at New Life corporately into the throne room of Heaven at each service.
