Who We Are

Our Staff

All JOF/Skatechurch/TORN staff and leaders  are volunteers – there are no paid staff members.   Before a leader may be given any authority, they must be screened by the Washington State Patrol, have worked with the JOF leadership team for a minimum of six months and follow Church safety guidelines, and must have proven by their lifestyles to be committed to following Christ.

Serena Wastman
Senior Pastor
The Journey Church is headed by Senior Pastor Serena Wastman.  Although the current church culture assumes the “Senior Pastor” is up front all the time, we like to read our bible and follow that — Jesus is the head of this church.  Serena oversees the ministries and “equips the saints to do the work of the ministry”.  She the first one there, last one out — serving.

Rob Wastman
Assistant Pastor
Rob Wastman heads up the teaching, men’s discipleship and hospitality at The Journey Church.  He is a “bi-vocational” pastor — meaning, he works twice as hard as the rest with two full-time jobs!.  God bless Pastor Rob!

Natalie Frazier
Worship Lead – Team
Missions Director�
Natalie is one of the Worship Team leaders at the Journey Church.  We rotate monthly for worship teams — with many of the Journey members participating in joining the team.  She also heads up the Journey Missions Department.

Colin Frazier
SCNET Youth Leader
Worship Team Lead�
Colin has been with Skate Church for nearly three years – and heads up the team of many Skate Church leaders.  His strongest gift in the Lord is pastoring…If you have any questions for your kids, talk with Colin!

Jackie Neumiller

Jackie is a founding member of the Skate Church original team…she helped start this church!  She is one of the leading “teaching pastors” for the Skate Church youth ministry.  All this — while finishing at Seattle Pacific University!


Omar Woeltz
SCNET Youth Leader
Worship Team Lead
Omar is another of our amazing Skate Church leaders — and is also one of our Journey Worship Team leaders!  He is strongly gifted in music, playing the percussions, accoustic guitar and lead vocals.

Kelly Bowman
SCNET Youth Leader
Kelly is strongly gifted at teaching and is able to present Jesus straight-forward, analytically, and even with scientific proof basing His existence — gotta love it!  She is a strong leader for the young women in our youth ministry.   She loves Jesus, ultimate Frisbee and Skate Church!


Kylie Williams
SCNET Youth Leader
Kylie is new to the Skate Church team, and has quickly become a West Seattle-ite!  You will see her all over the Junction mixing it up with locals and spreading the love of Jesus around.  Say HI when you see her bright smile!


Ed Worden
SCNET Youth Leader
Oh, geez, Ed, bet you didn’t think we’d put your mug shot on this website…but you’re one of the biggest KIDS in the youth group.  We love you man!  Ed is a fabuloso “teacher” of the Word of God.  What we do without Ed Worden?
