Meet Our Team

Micah Barclay

Associate Pastor

I am a disciple of Jesus, husband, father, and minister of the gospel. I am passionate about seeing people from all ages and walks of life, to get to know the Lord in a real and personal way. It is my highest honor and privilege to get to reveal the Father’s love to everyone I come in contact with and make a Kingdom impact in the world in which we live.

My beautiful wife, Adrienne and I have been married for nine years and have three adorable little girls named Mataya, Lydia, and Hadassah. I have attended Rev City for 15 years, and Adrienne has attended for her entire life. We have served in many different roles and capacities at Rev City over the years, including youth ministry and the praise and worship team. Before joining the staff at Rev City, I worked several years in the mutual fund industry in one of the world’s largest financial transfer agencies. I did my undergrad at the University of Kansas and am currently working on my Master’s degree in Spiritual Leadership from the Kings University.

Outside of church, I love spending time with my family. When I need some alone time I love getting outdoors especially, hunting, fishing, hiking and camping.

Damon & Neva Hieb

Marriage Ministry Coordinators

Eddie Diaz

Executive Pastor

My passion is to encourage people to have a personal encounter with God, through Jesus Christ, and to help them discover their freedom and identity in Him. I am honored to serve as the Executive Pastor of Ministries, and my goal is to equip and release believers to advance the kingdom of God within their sphere of influence.

As a pastor I have served in ministry for 18+ years. In addition to my experience as an Executive Pastor, I have had an opportunity to serve as a Lead Pastor as well as an Associate Pastor and have had the honor to serve in almost every area of ministry within the church.

I have had the incredible privilege of being married to my wife, Beth since 1997, and together we have three amazing children, Brandon, Miranda and Camden, and our family dog named Rocky. Beth and I strive to provide a fun, honest and peaceful home, where everyone is encouraged to share their personal truth and receive God’s unchanging truth in love, all with a lot of laughter in the mix! Some of my favorite things are eating dark chocolate, smoking meat on the grill and playing and watching sports, in that order.

Beth Diaz

Director of Assimilation and Pastoral Administration

Wife, mom, mentor, dream manager, sister, writer and friend are a few of the words that describe me. My passion is to help people, young and old and from all walks of life, discover who they are in Christ, find out what their purpose and calling is and encourage them to pursue the calling and passion God has put in them. I believe that it is essential in the life of a believer to experience the fullness of freedom in Christ.

As Director of Assimilation and Pastoral Administration, I look forward to helping individuals and families to get connected at Rev City. Ask me how to connect!

Over the past 18 years, I have served in many different capacities in the church as well as in business. I have owned my own business, worked as a teacher and in administration at a Christian school, served as a women’s pastor, a children’s pastor and worked in church administration serving small groups, marriage ministry, deacon and security ministry and executive staff.

My greatest joy is being married to my husband, Eddie, and watching our three children become all God has called them to be. In my free time I enjoy writing, spending time building relationships and hanging out with my family.

Chet Kueffer

Worship & Technical Director

I have a burning desire to see the church worship the Lord with authentic passion, anointing, and excellence. I grew up attending this church and began serving on the worship team when I was a young teenager. I had the privilege of joining the staff full time in the spring of 2016. I considerate it to be a tremendous privilege and responsibility to lead our congregation in worship.

I was born and raised in the Lawrence area and graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Communications. Post graduation I worked full time in logistics for a ready mix concrete supplier meanwhile simultaneously continuing to pursue music. Through music God has given me the opportunity to travel the country and work on a wide variety of projects – both live and in the studio.

Most of my free time is spent in some capacity with my family (I’m one of 9 children). In addition to spending time with my family some of my favorite activities include running, snowboarding, nerding out on music gear, and shooting sporting clays.

Nathan Hammer

Media & Marketing Director

It is my passion to see quality media be an advantageous tool in reaching people for Jesus Christ. Far too often, media is utilized in a way that hinders the Gospel. God has placed media on my heart since my freshman year in high school and He has graciously led me by the hand ever since. I’ve been blessed to attend this church for my entire life. Over the years I’ve always envisioned a strong and effective media presence taking root here. It has been an honor to serve and grow in this church body that has meant so much to me for all of my life.

After graduating high-school in 2007, I attended a two-year film and media internship in Texas. After returning to Kansas, I received my bachelor’s from the University of Kansas in Film & Media Studies, with a Minor in Business. I have been blessed to work for various Christian organizations over the past decade—utilizing media within all of them to help reach people for Jesus. Media can (and will!) be used to impact the Kingdom of God.

I could not do what I do without the help, love, support, and encouragement from my best friend and wife, Betsy. We have been married since 2012, and our two amazing boys (rambunctiously cute!) keep us active and busy. Being the church’s resident “media guy”, it’s probably a cliche that I enjoy all things media: editing videos, watching movies & tv shows, and having Hans Zimmer’s soundtracks looping on repeat. Like 90% of Lawrence natives, I enjoy watching KU basketball and exploring God’s beautiful nature around Clinton Lake. My heart is filled with so much joy spending time with my family and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world! The Lord has blessed me immensely and I am so thankful that I get to walk with Him each and every day. It’s my ultimate desire to pursue Him more, know Him more, and be changed by His love.

Gabrielle Isom

Children’s Ministry Director

Creating a space where children feel welcomed, cared for and safe is my top priority! It is such an honor to be someone who helps children know that Jesus is their very best friend, God loves them, and the Holy Spirit gives them power. Children, from a young age, can start to develop their spiritual understanding of who they are in Christ. It is a blessing to be able to minister to your children each week with our incredible Rev City Kids team!

My husband, Brad, and I have been married since 2011. We both attended Missouri Western State University for our undergraduate degree. We moved to Lawrence in 2015 for graduate school. Moving to Lawrence was an incredible blessing and we quickly got plugged in to serving and meeting other people who are passionate about seeing Jesus revealed to people! We came to this church one week after we moved to town and never left! I came on staff in 2016 while I was finishing my Master’s Degree in Counseling and graduated from UMKC in 2018 with this degree.

Brad and I love to spend our free time together or visiting family and friends. We both enjoy going to the movies and attending concerts. I love to take walks and sip on iced tea! One of my secret hobbies is reading and collecting children’s books.

Heather Courtney

Receptionist

I Love People! But even more, I love Jesus! God’s number one goal with us is connection, and nothing will prevent Him from moving towards us and responding to us with love, nothing! My passion is to build a culture around me and through me that encompasses how God created us to become, powerful sons and daughters who know how to walk in freedom and be connected. I want to be able to carry His huge, fearless heart of love that pursues connection everywhere I go. Where would we be without our Connections? Let me know if I can help you get connected here at Rev City, God’s Kingdom is growing and we are so excited to see where He is going to take us!

I have been given the privilege to serve you on the staff here at Rev City. As the Receptionist, I look forward to meeting and connecting with each of you as you become an integral part of what God is doing here in Lawrence Kansas! The power of Jesus’ love for my kids that comes flowing out of Rev City Youth is what re-ignited my love for my Jesus family here at Rev City Church. There is nothing better and more exciting than the next generation being on fire for Jesus!!

God blessed me so that I could stay home while my kids were small, all the while loving many other children through the daycare I ran out of my home. It was then that I also invited kids in after school to share the love of Jesus through our neighborhood Good News Club. I have been in Children’s Ministry leading Sunday Schools, Children’s Choirs and VBS. I have also led Women’s small groups and shared with many my testimony in hopes to give someone a sense of hope in Jesus. He loves us so much!

My husband Justin and I have been married since 2010 and together we have 7 amazing kids and 3 incredible grandkids. Watching them grow has been one of my most favorite joys! Again one of my favorite pieces in life is connection and connecting with my family makes for some of the most precious times of my life. I also love to play the piano, attend my kids and grandkids activities, spend time with my 4 siblings and their awesome families, play an intense game of “Spoons” and just “Do Family”.

Caj Kueffer

Youth Worship Director

I am a passionate worship leader because I have a relationship with Jesus who has given me grace & the Holy Spirit to lead others into the Lord’s presence. Jesus made the greatest act of worship when He submitted His life on the cross. Jesus reveals how much our Heavenly Father loves us and makes a way for us to be a part of the family of God. What an awesome Heavenly Father we have!

My amazing wife Hannah and I got married in September of 2017. We met at Rev City & now get to serve Rev City Youth (RCY) together with an incredible worship team & staff. Hannah and I are also blessed to work together at Integrity Midwest Insurance.

I enjoy spending time with my wife. Some of our favorite things to do together are fishing, cooking, swimming and wood-work projects. If I’m not at work or church I’m likely on a run or writing songs.

Amity Humphries

Communications and Women’s Ministry Director

My heart for Women’s Ministry at Rev City Church is to encourage, empower and inspire ladies to be victorious, filled with vibrant life and free to be all God has called them to be. I have a passion for ladies of all ages, backgrounds and seasons of life to walk in confidence and joy in everyday life through Jesus Christ! God promises us in Ephesians 3:20 that HE IS ABLE to do exceedingly, abundantly above ALL we can ask or think through His mighty power. Through Him and Him alone, I have personally experienced God’s miraculous love, healing, acceptance and grace, and I desire to see all of His precious daughters to receive the same!

I have been married to my incredible husband, Thomas since January 2005 and continue to fall more madly in love with him every day. Being a pastor’s wife since age 18, I have had the honor and privilege to serve alongside my husband in various roles. From cleaning toilets & answering phones, to serving & leading in areas such as Children’s Ministry, Youth Ministry, Worship, Administration and more. I love serving God and loving people in the local church!

Thomas and I are blessed with 4 beautiful and vibrant children. Our life is very busy and sometimes kinda crazy, but we strive to keep a healthy balance of serving the church, spending time as a family, working hard, playing hard and resting.

My favorite things to do include date nights with T on Mass Street, family movie time in our living room with LOTS of pillows and blankets and playing softball with my Rev City Sisters!

Laura Roth

Finance Administrator

Growing up I never saw myself working in ministry. The moment God radically touched my life, everything changed. I knew every single person needed to hear about Jesus and His amazing love; however, I wasn’t sure how He could use my skill set to make an impact for the Kingdom. God’s timing is perfect and I am grateful He chose me to walk this life with Him.

My hunky husband, Michael, and I have been married since 2011 and He has blessed us abundantly with three beautiful children: Breckyn, Asher, and Olivia. We walked through the doors of Rev City Church for the first time in August 2014, plugged in, and never looked back. This is our home. We hope you will find your home here as well!

I graduated from Fort Hays State University with my dual Bachelors of Business Administration in Accounting and Finance in 2008 and gained my certification as a Certified Public Accountant in 2010. Over the years, God has used me professionally in the public accounting world, as well as in the private industry of international construction. He has also used my giftings to serve on the Board of Directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Finney County.

In the majority of my time, you will find me with my family. It is such an honor to raise these three children to know, love, and serve God. We enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors, making memories, and helping my dad with wheat harvest.

Madison Criddle

Cleaning & Facilities

I feel great pride in taking care of and cleaning God’s house! From making sure everything is stocked and shiny for Sunday to setting up tables and chairs for Life Groups, it makes my heart happy to know that I am preparing a welcoming and clean environment for people to experience the love of God.

I am married to my husband Jeremy and we have an amazing little toddler, Bentley, who gives us even more of a reason to keep our focus on Jesus.

I attended KU right after graduating high school. I went for one year then took time off to decide what I really wanted to study. I have plans to attend college again in the upcoming year hopefully studying Christian Ministry.

Outside of church, you will almost always find me doing something with Jeremy and our son, whether that’s watching TV, playing catch, or just enjoying a meal together. I am a big reader, so you can count on there being a book of some sort on my nightstand.

Fernando Alvarez

Worship Leader

I was born and raised in Dallas, TX and come from a pastoral family full of musicians. My heart and passion is to see the nations worship and lift the name of Jesus. Leading, mentoring and pastoring has always been part of my journey, and I have had the honor and privilege to lead, preach and sing all over the world.

In 2009, the Lord stirred a movement in my heart called Rendered Heart and throughout the years it has blossomed into many facets. We have hosted many types of conferences such as leadership, worship and pastoral gatherings in various cites throughout the U.S. and Latin America. In 2012, we opened Rendered Heart Institute in Houston, TX for the development and training of worship leaders and musicians. I have spent my life pouring into the next generation of worshippers and it’s been my passion to see many rise up with a fresh vision and new sound!

I am honored to be part of the Rev City leadership team and so excited to see God move here in our church and in this city of Lawrence, KS. I enjoy going to the gym and traveling. I love to fish with my dad and last but not least….I am a Dallas Cowboys fan and definitely not shy to let people know!

Woody Davis

Elder

I was raised in central Arkansas by a single mother and good Christian roots, practically growing up in a church.  As a teen I fell away from my Christian upbringing and as a young man in the US Navy literally lost my way.  In 1981, while serving on a ship at sea I had an encounter with Jesus that changed my life, and I have never been the same since. My love for God and experiencing the fellowship of the Holy Spirit has grown ever since.

I married my wonderful wife Marla in 1982 and often tell people that I married above my station. She is the Proverbs 31 Woman that you read about! We have three sons who married our three Daughters (in law) – Shaun & Becky, Justin & Megan and Ryan & Cassie along with our 11 grandchildren, and as of this writing the 12th is on the way. We moved to Lawrence in 1993 and quickly found a church family who embraced us along with our love for Jesus called the Mustard Seed Christian Fellowship. We have grown in the Lord every day since we joined this wonderful body of believers, now Rev City Church. Marla, already a gifted worshiper was asked to serve as worship leader in 1995 and served in that capacity for many years and I have been honored to serve as an Elder since 2004.

Our passion is Jesus. We love being a part of seeing His kids come to know and experience the fullness of life in Him! We are passionate about marriage and equipping husbands and wives in fulfilling their roles as couples. There is a way that works in marriage and life it is built on God’s blueprint.

Fun Fact you may not know – I have seen 2/3 of this globe that God created. Marla and I love to travel and hope to see the rest.

Clint Kueffer

Elder

I have been attending the church for more than three decades and am the oldest of Steve and Pam Kueffer’s 9 children. My wife Sarah & I were married in the church in 2004, have assisted with Alpha for several years, have served as deacons and I have been an Elder since 2014.

Prior to serving as Elder, I played guitar on the worship team for approximately twenty years.

My wife & I own and operate an independent insurance agency – Integrity Midwest Insurance. When not at work or church, I love spending time with my amazing wife Sarah, our wonderful children and all of my brothers and sisters. When I’m not spending time with my family, I might be trying to beat Pastor Thomas at golf… a feat I admit may not happen before Christ’s return.

Terry Marshall

Elder

I have been married to my beautiful wife, Kathy for 47+ years and we have 3 daughters, 2 sons in-law and 4 fabulous, active grandsons. We have been attending this church for 35 years & have served in many capacities during this time.

My desire is particularly to help people discover & understand God’s purpose for their lives, and to pursue their purpose with passion. Kathy & I both are both excited about the direction the Lord is leading Rev City & enjoy interceding in prayer to see God’s purpose accomplished.

I am in the aerospace industry & currently am President of a small, local Aeronautical Engineering services company. I enjoy traveling & playing golf.

Thomas & Amity Humphries

Pastor

I have served in full-time ministry since 2003, and have been married to my amazing wife Amity since 2005. Every day I am even more glad that she said “Yes!” We are blessed with 4 beautiful children, and loving God and having fun together is the biggest part of our lives!

Early in 2015, we heard the Lord tell us to prepare for transition. In faith, we resigned our position at a wonderful church in a beautiful part of Texas and began to pray. We sensed the Lord tell us that He had asked us to become unattached so that we could be part of His answer to the prayers of a precious group of people that were beginning to walk through a leadership transition. In the summer of 2015, the Lord connected us to this church and brought numerous confirmations that we were to move our family to Lawrence to serve this church, city and region. Because we are passionate about Jesus, we are passionate about people!  We have a strong desire to see every person discover the life-changing love, forgiveness, freedom, and empowerment of God in a way that helps them live abundant, adventurous, and courageous lives of faith! We are honored and humbled to serve, and are very excited about the future of the church and all that God desires to do in Lawrence and the surrounding area! If we haven’t already, we hope to meet you soon!

Above all, I love to spend time with my family.  I also enjoy golfing, fishing, and playing sports with friends!   I’m a life-long Dallas Cowboys fan, but it’s been easy for me to quickly root for all teams Kansas!  The moment of truth for me will be if and when the Cowboys and Chiefs play in the Super Bowl!
