Leadership Team

Bill and Charis are the senior pastors of the Gospel Training Community. Bill, Charis and their 7 children live in Redding, CA where they serve as overseers at the GTC and over the pastoral team. Bill spends much of his time teaching the Scriptures, coaching soccer and disciple-making. Charis is our worship pastor and homeschools her kids, is a garden enthusiast and homemaker.

Daniel and Nichole met while serving their youth group at Bethel, Redding. What started as a friendship grew to love, a wedding in 2003, and 5 kids born between 2005-2015. They are the proud parents of 4 girls, 1 boy, and now a new son-in-law as of March 2026. Though Daniel got his bachelors degree in pastoral leadership at Vanguard University, he has spent the last couple decades working as a local realtor and real estate broker for a brokerage he started called Upward Realty. Nichole, who received her BA in communications from Simpson University, spends her days homeschooling their three kids who are still school-aged, and taxiing everyone around to where they need to be. Both Daniel and Nichole have served the Lord their entire lives, and love to help point others toward Him in the day to day.

Married since 1989, Rob and Rachel are devoted followers of Jesus who are firmly rooted in God’s love and the truth of His Word. They have raised three sons who love the Lord and pursue lives of discipleship, and they are grateful for their two daughters-in-law who also faithfully follow Christ. Rob and Rachel are passionate about encouraging others through prayer, discipleship, and meaningful relationships. They are committed to sharing the gospel, helping believers grow in their faith, and living with eager anticipation of the Messiah’s return and the coming Kingdom.

Patrick has worked for over 30 years in the construction industry, however his passion is for discipleship. He has turned his work into a place of discipling men to follow the narrow path while training them in the trades. Janna is a stay-at-home mom, incredible worshipper, and homeschooler of their three boys.
