Hello! My name is Leo Flores, I am the Creative Arts Pastor of Bayside Church in Safety Harbor, FL. I have functioned primarily as a worship leader for 15 years, but in 2021, God spoke to me while I was wrapping up cables and putting away music gear, "I made you to build my Church." I am exploring that call and all that it means and what it doesn't mean. I feel totally inadequate to accomplish this, and often feel intimidated to start, but I have a small fire in my spirit that has compelled me to seek the opportunity to grow, to learn, and to find wisdom as I pursue God's calling. My Grandfather was a church planter, and my dad is a pastor. I am different from them, but the burden to serve God remains.
My name is Tim Yoder, I am currently the Senior Pastor at Mt Carroll Church of God. I was born and raised in Northern Indiana in the middle of Amish country and corn fields. No wife, no kids (unless you count a 90# golden doodle named Mator). I was called in to ministry at a young age, but ran from God till my early 20's. I am exited for what God is doing in our community.

I'm the pastor at Community Methodist Church in Ruidoso, NM. I'm a former church planter who is helping church planters in the West Plains Conference.
I was born and raised in Germany. My parents were missionaries with Word of Life. At age 5 I accepted Christ as my Savior after seeing the TV Series, Jesus of Nazareth. At age 13 I committed my life to Christ when an invitation was given at a large gathering of believers. I was baptized shortly after that in my home church. To me, it meant that I was committed to living in a close, personal relationship with Jesus, and desiring to listen and engage with Him, and with where He was leading me. My relationship with Christ, His Spirit and attention to His word, have guided me along the way. He led me in the decision of marriage, to study Theology, to become a missionary in Austria, and to take the lead pastor position at CFC.
Muskegon, Michigan native. While going to church as long as I can remember, my faith became real in college while attending Michigan State University. After a lifetime of double living and feeling spiritual empty, Jesus confronted me on whether I was going to follow Him all-in or not. Campus Crusade for Christ was where I learned how to follow Jesus and lead others. Despite my resistance, God led me out of teaching and coaching football into vocational ministry. My passion and experience has been around leading missional movements. For the last 8 years I have served as the lead pastor at The Adventure Church in Norton Shores, MI. I also serve as the Multiplication Catalyst for the Muskegon Classis for the past 4 years.
I have worked in church planting and pastoral ministry for several years. Recently moved to Leander to serve ACTS Leander and the ACTS Network in deliberate discipleship strategies and leadership development.
Hi! I'm Travis Bodden and I serve as the Executive Director of the Midwest Region Conference of the Churches of God. I have been married since 1996 and empty nest is quickly approaching with two older teenage children. I love working outside and managing my small hobby farm. I also have been teaching part-time at a Millikin University since 2017 and I enjoy watching people learn new information. God has been taking me on a multi-year journey of learning how to be friends with people in my neighborhood and I am actively learning Spanish to connect better with our Hispanic members in our community and abroad with our Latin American churches. I am typically quite the extrovert and I will look forward to meeting each of you.
