Pastor Aaron and Krista Ingram | Lead Pastor
Aaron and Krista Ingram reside in Aurora, CO. with their two beautiful children. They met while attending Marilyn Hickey Bible College and interning under the youth ministry at Marilyn Hickey Ministries. Aaron strongly felt the call to full time ministry and has since made it his career. He has served as a youth minister where he has seen hundreds of youth transformed by the Spirit of God. He and Krista have served as youth pastors for Marilyn Hickey Ministries in Denver, Colorado and Abundant Life Christian Center in Syracuse, NY. Aaron had also served as the worship pastor for Marilyn Hickey Ministries. He has a distinct gifting for tapping into the flow of the Holy Spirit during worship, and igniting a passion for God during his worship leading. He has also been blessed with the gift to bring forth the Word of God in a way that brings a maturity to the people who receive. He speaks with a passion and conviction that captures the heart of his audience.Krista is a true example of a “Proverbs 31” woman. She is an incredible mother, a called minister, a rock to her husband, and a prosperous business woman. She has the amazing ability of balancing the needs of her house, the demands of ministry, and the hectic schedule of a full time Real Estate agent. She has an eye for excellence and feels strongly that the church should reflect the excellence of God in all that it endeavors to do.
Together, they have a heart for the communities in metro Denver. In March of 2009, God began to grow that passion and spoke forth the call to head pastor. They have a heart that longs to make a lasting difference. They are convinced that as they serve the communities of metro Denver with the love of Christ by helping the needy, feeding the hungry, and clothing those in need that God will manifest Himself in a mighty way to those who don’t know him. In addition, they feel called to make disciples by preaching an uncompromising message and the depth of the Word of God – knowing that mature believers are effective believers for the Kingdom of God. ________________________________________________________________________
Pastor Jonas and Tiffany Thomas | Children’s Pastor
Jonas and Tiffany Thomas met in 1997 when Tiffany’s family moved from Baton Rouge, LA to Lamar, CO to pastor a small rural church. After graduating they moved to the Denver area so Jonas could pursue his passion for music. For the next 8 years Jonas’ band played for and ministered to thousands of youth and young adults throughout the rocky mountain region. In 2006 they felt God prompting them to step away from music and focus on their family. Soon after they found out they were expecting their third child, who was born in August of 2007. They spent 3 years seeking God knowing he had a plan and in the summer of 2009 Pastor Aaron and Krista asked them to join the Lifesong family as the children’s pastors. Jonas and Tiffany knew that God had been preparing them for this very opportunity and happily accepted.
The Thomas’ reside in Centennial, CO with their three beautiful children. Jonas believes that being a leader begins at home, making sure you are setting a Godly example for your children and spouse. Tiffany is a strong woman of God who’s love, kindness and passion for people has allowed her to minister in a true and sincere way throughout her life.
Jonas and Tiffany have an excitement and passion for Gods children and believe that kids are hungry for the truth in the word of God. Each Sunday they bring a challenging perspective and make sure they are sowing into and preparing our young ones to someday rise up and lead the body of Christ.

- Pastor Travis & Whitney Vancil
Pastor Travis and Whitney Vancil | Service and Help Pastor
Travis is a Graduate of Rockford Masters Commission where he spent 3 years training in youth ministry, discipling, running small groups and developing leaders. While in Rockford, God placed a divine passion in Travis’ heart for a city he had never visited, Denver, Colorado. After graduation, he pursued the call of God on his life by moving to Denver to join the team at Marilyn Hickey Ministries and Orchard Road Christian Center. There he met his wife Whitney, and served together as Intern and Youth Pastors for 5 years. They both consider those years as a significant season in which they grew in faith and the Lord further developed their gifts while being mentored by Dr. Marilyn Hickey.
Whitney was born and raised in Colorado. She has worked as an office assistant and certified home stager, and enjoys using these talents to serve the church also. One of the strongest desires of her heart is to teach believers of all ages become true disciples of Christ: equipped and faithful fishers of men.
Travis and Whitney are currently serving as Pastors over our Service and Helps ministry where they are discipling and developing leaders. They have a great passion to see the city of Denver transformed by God’s Spirit and His love.
