About the Team

We may not have the age or credentials that usually go along with successful youth workers, but we have seen God use us to grow healthy youth ministries everywhere we go. Here is some brief history of our coaching team...

Gary Hale

Gary Hale graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a Bachelor's Degree in Educational Ministry and is currently attending Rockbridge Seminary. He started the youth ministry from scratch and saw it grow to over 100 students in less than 2 years at one of the fastest growing churches in America (Eastlake Church in Bothell, WA). He now serves as the Student Ministries Pastor at High Pointe Church in Puyallup, WA. Click here to e-mail Gary.

Lindsay Hale


The first thing you'll think when you meet Lindsay Hale is, "Her dad MUST have been a youth pastor." Her energetic and vibrant persona say it all when you meet her. Not only that, but she is also every youth pastors dream because she volunteers as many hours as a paid staff
person! Lindsay is one of the best at recognizing what volunteer leaders need to succeed, grow and be challenged in ministry. Click here to e-mail Lindsay.

David Day


David Day is one of those rare breeds that figured out that he wanted to become a youth pastor at a young age of 14. He began teaching and leading small groups at his church when he was 15 years old and hasn't looked back since. More recently, he has led student ministries of over 100 students at two churches (Eastlake Church & High Pointe Church). David is a Student Ministries Pastor at High Pointe Church and attends Seattle Pacific University. Nothing fires him up like helping non-Christians students see authentic Christianity and getting Christian students to own their youth ministry. Click here to e-mail David.
