Rob was born and raised in Utah. He loves the outdoors, camping, hiking, and just being active. He also enjoys football, baseball, and basketball and is an avid Steelers fan. After seeing the Christmas movie, Die Hard at age 8, he has had a desire to work in Law Enforcement ever since. Rob's career has spanned over 20 years and has included roles in SWAT, Robbery, Homicide, Gangs, FBI Task Force and as Sergeant Detective with the Special Victims Unit. Rob is blessed with an amazing wife, Elayne who is his absolute best friend, and an even bigger Steelers fan. He is also blessed with 2 wonderful children: Asher (age 12) and Grace (age 9) and is hoping for more kids in the future. In 2008, after living a life void of any type of faith, he stepped into a non-denominational church for the first time and 4 months later, gave his life to Christ. In 2019, Rob and Elayne walked into the Bridge Community and immediately knew this was where God wanted them to be. They have been worshiping and serving here ever since. Rob loves Jesus. As he has lived a life without God, Rob understands the utter loneliness this brings and has a strong desire to lead others to Him and to see them grow in their faith. If you would like to know more about getting connected or have any questions about the amazing ways to grow here at The Bridge Community, or if you just need some encouragement, you can reach Rob here. 

Tom grew up in Northern Utah along the Wasatch Front (Layton). For as long as he can remember he has had a passion for seeing old things be made new (especially homes), and sees his life in a similar light in the hands of the Lord. He is a self taught musician who not only enjoys learning new instruments, but also putting them into practice on Sunday mornings. Additionally, he is passionate about passing along the things he has learned to others. Not long after surrendering his life to Jesus late in 2005, and watching the Lord save his amazing wife Jaime soon after, the Lord called Tom to serve in ministry. After completing a two-year internship, he was ordained as a pastor in 2011. Over the course of his ministry he has been blessed to serve in pastoral and worship leading roles, in church administration and finance, as a chaplain, as well as in the areas of audio/visual and technology. Tom and Jaime have been married since June of 2000 and have two awesome adult children, Braylee and Rylan. Tom earned a Master of Arts in Christian Ministry from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary in 2022 and is passionate about continued education, growth, and development for himself and for those he serves in the church. If you have questions about worship ministry or are in need of any assistance, please feel free to reach out to Tom here.

Kat grew up in Boise Idaho and was active in her local church where she grew a heart for missions and teaching. For as long as she can remember she has always wanted to be a teacher and is passionate about making the Bible come to life. After bouncing around Southern Idaho, she went to school at Utah State University and here she fell in love with Utah and realized that this was where she was meant to be. After graduating with her bachelors in Elementary Education and Special Education, Kat moved to Salt Lake to teach here and help rewrite the negative narrative students have told themselves by applying Biblical principals in her classroom. Throughout the years Kat has helped lead children’s, youth and college ministries. When Kat is not in her classroom she is often spotted either at a local coffee shop or on a trail with her coffee in hand with some friends.
