    Lead Pastors

    Having moved to NWA in 1977 at age 11, I received God's call at age 14 to preach His Word.  I came on staff at LFC in 1990 and have been Lead Pastor for the past 13 years. Blessed to be married to Beth Beers Curtis for 40 years, I’m a grateful father to the Super 6 (3 children and their spouses) and proud poppa to the Great 8 (6 grandaughters & 2 grandsons). My love: God, then my Wife.  My joy: Family.  My hobby: Golf.   My assignment: Preach & Pastor.  My fun: Vacations with my bride and watching my grandchildren play sports and do whatever else they love.   My habit: whistling and slamming cabinet doors in the morning.  My problem:  whistling and slamming cabinet doors in the morning. My Hope:  Christ.

    Executive Pastors 

    I’m a native of Arkansas, Woo Pig. I grew up in church and started serving on the worship team at a very young age. Ministry has always been near and dear to my heart. My wife Kristin and I have been attending LFC since January of 2011. We have two outstanding young men, our sons Asher and Keston. As Executive Pastor, I handle the administrative side of church operations. Currently on Sundays, I also serve as our Band/Music Director.

    I grew up in Northwest Arkansas and attended the Farmington School District, graduating in 2012. I have attended Living Faith Church my entire life, and since October 2018, I have had the privilege of serving as Youth Pastor and now Associate Pastor, with a passion for discipling and investing in the next generation. I married my wife, Kaytlin, on May 1, 2021, and we have one son Cohen. It is my heart to faithfully serve God, my church, and the community He has called me to.
