Our Pastors
Terry Pallas (Lead Pastor) and Katelyn Pallas (Teaching Pastor)

Terry and Katelyn are excited to serve God together as a husband and wife team. They felt a clear call from God to move their family from pastoral ministry in Seattle to Summerville and can't wait for all the good things God has in store!

 

If you're curious ...

Terry graduated from Central Washington University (BS) and Faith Evangelical Seminary (M.Div.) and has been in pastoral ministry for 20 years - serving most recently as Executive Pastor at Salt & Light Church in the Seattle area and previously at Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission where he served as Chief Program Officer. A decorated veteran, he also spent over 7 years in the Army Chaplain Corps as a Chaplain Assistant caring for the spiritual needs of soldiers and their families globally.

With the heart of an Evangelist, Terry is passionate about bringing the hope of the gospel to those that are hurting, hungry and broken.  For decades he has watched the power of the Holy Spirit set people free from addiction, trauma and despair. He met Katelyn while she was also ministering to the vulnerable. It was her joy to walk with women and children as they fled domestic violence and found freedom from addiction through Jesus.

A graduate of Wheaton College (BA) and Duke (M.Div.), Katelyn has a passion for teaching God’s word and instilling God's hope in the hard times especially around mental health struggles. For the past five years, she has also served in pastoral ministry at Salt & Light Church in the Seattle area while also focusing on their growing family. Together, Terry and Katelyn are blessed to have three children (one school aged and two grown), and two grandchildren and believe that the most important ministry starts in the home.
