Andy has served in ministry in Westminster, CO, La Junta, CO, Newport, OR, Twin Falls, ID and Madison, WI.

Riley Shaw

Riley Shaw has been at TFNaz since September 2024. He is a true Idahoan - he was born in Nampa and raised in Challis, ID. He was raised in Calvary Chapel and has known God as long as he can remember, but not without some challenges and hardships rocking that faith throughout the journey. Thankfully through some amazing experiences with God, Riley fortified his faith in his late teen years right before attending and throughout college at Northwest Nazarene University. Now Riley uses his gifts in technology to provide IT support at Glanbia.

At NNU, Riley learned a lot about the importance of historical context and deeper meanings when reading God's Word. He also met his beautiful wife, Rachel, who happens to be the Children's Pastor at TFNaz. Post graduation, Riley followed Pastor Rachel to Twin Falls. They were married in January 2025. 


At TFNaz, Riley volunteers with Hub Club on Wednesday nights and on the streaming team on Sundays.
