Greg grew up in a Jewish home near Minneapolis and learned Hebrew scripture and tradition from birth. He knew about God, but did not know God. As a young teenager God opened his eyes and awoke his soul to experience Jesus as the messiah, the fulfillment of all he knew. College, marriage to Debra, and seminary followed in Colorado. He’s been at New Life since 1998. Greg and Debra’s incredible adult children (Levi, Abigail, Samuel, and Grace) all grew up here, and two grandchildren (Mariah and Ethan) call Colorado home. He enjoys hiking, photography, sports, and is a bit fanatical about all things Vikings.

John grew up in Tucson, Arizona. He received his B.A. from Gordon College. After serving as a Detention Officer in Maricopa County, he received his M.Div. from Princeton Theological Seminary. He pastored in Princeton for 8 years before returning to Arizona to serve at New Life in 2015. John is married to Angel who serves as a counselor at Whole Hope Christian Counseling.  They have two teenagers, Camille and Soren, who bring them constant laughter and joy.  The Beesons love good food, adventures, and sports of all types.
