Joshua and Caitlyn Scanlan
Associate Pastors
Josh was raised in the Acadiana area where Jesus delivered him from a drugs and alcohol destructive lifestyle. Feeling the call to ministry, he attended attended and graduated from a Christian university with degrees in theology and missions. He worked for Teen Challenge in NYC for 18 months before returning to the Crowley, Louisiana area.

They have recently joined the leadership team at Life Church, where their heart and passion is for people with the purpose of introducing them to Jesus Christ and the abundant life He offers everyone.
Justin and Tracey Guillory
Worship Pastor & Children's Pastor
Justin picked up his first instrument when he was eleven years old. His love for music and worshiping God through the arts only grew from there. He joined his first worship team in 1997 and now serves as our Worship Pastor. Justin and his wife Tracey, who serves as our Childrenʼs Pastor, have three beautiful children, who also serve on one or more of the ministry teams: Alexis, Alayna and Austin.
Tracey was raised in a ministerʼs home and therefore very involved in church life and ministry even as a young child. At a kidʼs camp, when she was just a girl, God called Tracey into a life of ministry. She now takes children to that same camp every summer as our Childrenʼs Pastor! Tracey and her husband Justin have been in ministry at Life Church since 2006.
Nick and Hannah Helton
Youth Pastors
Nickolas and Hannah Helton serve as our Youth Pastors. Together, they reside in Rayne, LA with their three children. Nickolas works full-time for Slemco. Hannah has such a compassionate heart for people, and works as a full-time Registered Nurse.
Nickolas began ministry first as a youth leader at Northside Assembly of God in Crowley, LA, and then served as Youth Pastor at Ile Des Cannes Worship Center in Lafayette, LA for two years. IDCWC was an inner-city church plant that thrived because of the selflessness of servants like the Heltons. After their time in the inner-city, Nickolas and Hannah were called back to Northside Assembly of God, and have served faithfully as Youth Leaders. Nickolas was also a member of the Worship Team.
Their vision for the next generation is to teach students how to walk in boldness and live an unashamed life for Christ, and to always preach the Truth and share the Gospel with all who are lost in the world. God has raised them up for such a time as this; to call a generation to worship God in Spirit and Truth, and to raise up young people who will boldly declare the Truth of God’s love in a lost world.
Tiger and Kristi Morgan
Junior High Student Pastors
Tiger and Kristi Morgan serve as our Junior High Student Pastors. As the parents of six beautiful children, they have a heart to train young people up in the Word of God. They believe that this in between age (tweens) is a pivotal time in a child’s life. Not only have they committed to raising up a godly generation in their own home, but they are taking that same care with the young people entrusted to them week after week.
Kristi is a homemaker and homeschools their children. Together, they love the Word of God and hold the presence of God in high esteem. They understand and value the power of prayer. These are the principles that are being taught to our Junior High students in Agape Life every week.
