Lead Pastor

Jason Leadingham

Jason is an ordained minister serving the local Church for more than 25 years. He graduated from Carson Newman University (2000) and Asbury Theological Seminary (2012) with the desire to plant churches that will one day plant other churches. His background in both ministry and acting creates in him a desire to utilize both gift sets to help advance the Kingdom of God and support the communities in which he lives and ministers. He loves spending time with his wife, Brooke, and their children, ages 5 and 6. Jason is also a professional working actor with experience in voice acting, on-camera tv shows/commercials, and stage productions. In addition, he enjoys watching movies, Kentucky basketball (Sorry, IU fans), and playing pickleball. "Brooke and I look forward to meeting you! Our vision is to revitalize our community, help you meet new friends, inspire and challenge you with Biblical teaching, and help you find a place where you can truly belong and call home." -Pastor Jason "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' Philippians 4:7

Worship & Young Adults

Joshua Blake

Joshua is a licensed minister in the Wesleyan Church. He will graduate in April from Indiana Wesleyan University (2023) with a bachelor's degree in Christian Ministries and a minor in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). He loves helping youth and young adults discover and utilize their God-given gifts for His Kingdom. As a missionary kid in the Czech Republic, Joshua saw firsthand how God was working in the lives of the families in his church. As a result, he co-founded their church’s first youth group (2018) and has loved youth ministry ever since. Joshua and his wife, Kirsten, have been happily married since May 30th, 2022. They love to play board games (Ticket to Ride is their current favorite), watch shows, and play with their puppy, Angel. When seeking the next steps after graduation, God pointed them to City Church Greenfield, where they desire to see how God will work in the community. “We want to be a compass for the people of Greenfield, meaning that when others look at us, our marriage, and our lives, they would see the True North- our LORD Jesus Christ. We are people-people and feel led to point to Christ through the relationships we build in Greenfield. This is also our vision for City Church Greenfield, that when people look over, they would see Christ like never before.“ “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
