Pastor Blake and Kristen Bush are the Lead Pastors at Third Day. Growing up in Colorado and Kansas, they each felt a call to pastoring at a young age. They met working for a Christian whitewater rafting company called Noah’s Ark. They were married in 1990 and have been serving the Body of Christ ever since, first as youth pastors , then as college pastors, and 5 years ago they helped plant Third Day . They have been blessed with four wonderful children: Zachary (17), Micaela (15), Caden (13), and Daxson (11). While Blake is leading the church, Kristen works as a part-time administrator for Third Day, in addition to substitute teaching. In their spare time, Blake loves to play the guitar, soccer, and pass the football with their boys, while Kristen enjoys cooking, playing racquetball with friends, and shopping with their daughter. Dinner out as a couple is one of their favorite activites. Blake oversees the leadership at Third Day and various ministries, and is the main preaching pastor. Kristen oversees the 3d Women’s Ministry. Their favorite part of pastoring is finding the unique giftedness in every believer and releasing them to walk more fully into their God-given destiny.
Pastor Jeff and Mary Beth Green are the Associate Pastors at Third Day. Jeff is a Minnesota native, while Mary Beth was raised here in Fort Collins. The two met in college at CSU and were married in 1989. They served as worship/youth pastors for 16 years before helping plant Third Day. They have 4 amazing children: Daniel (19), Sarah (17), Mariah (15), and Justin (13). Their two chocolate labs, Latte and Mocha, give hint to one of the Green family’s passions: coffee! Jeff leads the worship ministry at Third Day, in addition to overseeing finances, small groups, and deacon's ministry. Mary Beth is in leadership over the women’s ministry. Jeff’s hobbies include fishing, paintball, and racquetball, while Mary Beth likes to play racquetball and hike. They both love going on “dates” with their children and with one another. They are passionate about the amazing community God has created in the Body of Christ and believe every person has a significant part to contribute to the church and as a light to the world. |
