Say hello to the staff at Columbia Grove.

Andrew Thompson helped start Columbia Grove in 2004. Since then, he has served as Columbia Grove's senior pastor. Andrew is married to his wife of 24+ years, Anita. They have two daughters, Lauren and Elizabeth. His role on the staff is to serve the church by keeping its congregation and staff focused on the mission, and Biblically inspired to pursue it.

Paul Collard  joined the Columbia Grove staff in 2018 as the Pastor of Volunteer Development.  His current role is to lead the many different Ministry Teams, Committees and Volunteers at Columbia Grove.  Paul's passion is to Serve and watch people grow in their faith.  A great icebreaker question for Paul is to ask him about Officiating Football:)

Gayla Toften develops a team of volunteers who create fun, safe environments for children to learn about and get to know Jesus. She also develops a team of volunteers to care for seniors who can no longer attend church by providing worship services and emotional support at assisted living homes.
