“This is what the Lord says: ‘Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?’ declares the Lord. ‘These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.”

Steffanie Haney, Director of Adult Discipleship
Hi, I’m Steffanie and I am entrusted with the responsibility of adult discipleship at Christ Center. That’s a fancy way of saying I get to facilitate all of us adults learning to authentically follow Jesus. I love my family, coffee and chocolate. I came to know Jesus through the Sunday morning church experience and am passionate about continuing to follow this encouragement from the book of Hebrews in the Bible.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another- and all the more as you see the day approaching.”
Hebrews 12:12

Andy Robinson, Pastor of Operations
Serving Jesus and our church family as an assistant pastor is my delight. I am a Cashmere High grad, got a college degree in Recreation from EWU, met my wife, Mary--and then we came back to Cashmere to give the opportunity for others to receive the truth about Jesus. I find Jesus is creative. He is always doing new things. Children's ministry, Children's Camp, Men's ministry, and Jail Chaplaincy have been my joy over the past years. Now I lead the charge over the operations of the church--and am learning lots of other new things. Mary and I have 3 children--we also have been foster parents and we just became grandparents.

Her heart is to be an apprentice of Jesus of Nazareth, ordering her life around three goals: be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. Specific to directing songs of worship, her heart is one of reverent acceptance of the weighty responsibility that it is to lead the congregation in high praise of our God; submitted to the Holy Spirit and the house of God. She loves His church, and is expectant to see the Kingdom of God continue to come in Cashmere as it is in heaven!
“You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:5
