Pastor

Andy Sytsma
I was born in Japan and lived there until I moved back to the U.S. for college. My wife Jacie grew up in Argentina and later lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are both missionary kids and came to faith at a young age. We met at college and married a few years later while I was studying in seminary. Internships in Michigan, Houston, and Seattle gave us a burden and passion for Jesus.
Prior to moving to Salt Lake City, we lived in New Jersey and Texas where I pastored different churches. Some of my passion areas are discipleship, church planting, and now a growing desire and burden for prayer.
Right now, Jacie and I are having fun being empty nesters, since our two kids, Natalie and Caleb, are out of the house. Jacie is a teacher by training and has served as a worship director. She also loves gardening. I am a big basketball fan. We both enjoy reading good books, watching movies and finding cheap, hole-in-the-wall restaurants with great food.
My leadership style is similar to the apostle Andrew. You don’t hear much about Andrew, but he loved Jesus and loved leading people to Jesus. My prayer is that, like Andrew, the spotlight will always be on Jesus!
We would love to have you join us for worship. We serve an awesome and gracious God and it would be our joy and privilege to help you experience this amazing gift of Life in Christ.
In Him,
Pastor Andy
