Brian Newman
Fuel: Youth Group for 7 - 12th graders
Brian Newman leads Fuel, with the help of Sydney Johnson, and works closely with Pastor Rebecca in order to develop/ utilize resources and materials that help our youth explore life’s big questions in light of Christ’s love. Fuel meets during the Worship Gathering every-other Sunday through the
school year.
Hi, I’m Brian! I’m husband to Laura and dad to Joey (17). By day, I strive to inspire young minds as an 8th-grade science teacher, where my own enthusiasm for learning and my natural curiosity help me make science accessible and exciting for my students. I love serving as a leader for Fuel, and I’m passionate about mentoring and encouraging spiritual growth among our teens. I also help with tasks behind the scenes at Threads, and I occasionally play electric guitar in the worship band. I’m also in a local rock 'n' roll band called Sixes and Sevens, where I get to channel His love for rock music. I also own and operate a small engine repair business.
Anne Goodrich
Graphic Design
Salutations! I’m a mother of three, grandmother of four, and a retired graphic designer. I created educational materials for many years and find designing things of a spiritual nature can be very meditative and quiets my mind. I also enjoy good conversation, good books, good quotes, good friends and the leaves rustling in trees on a summer's day. In addition, I’ve had stories published in Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and other inspirational anthologies. A favorite quote of mine: “The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.”
