MiNISTRY & staff Team

  • Larry Rounsley is our Interim Pastor. He has an extensive history of pastoral service with 27 years as Lead Pastor at Liberty Bible Church in Vancouver, WA. He then turned his talents to teaching at King's Way Christian Schools as their Bible teacher. We are so pleased he has accepted this position.

  • Youth Ministry Pastor
    Pastor Danica began her position here in Tillamook in July of 2024.  Christian and Danica have been married since November 2022 and have been passionately leading youth together since September 2021.  Fun fact: That is actually how they met!  They were paired together to co-lead the youth group at their church and God had an even bigger plan!  

    They believe with all of their hearts that this generation is hungry for Truth!  "There truly is no junior Holy Spirit, and we have seen youth time and time again get set on fire for Jesus and for a move of His presence.  It is our prayer that the teens here at TNAZ will experience a deep relationship with Jesus and know how much He loves them."
