Reverend Gayle Heffley
Pastor Gayle is Daren’s wife, Tom, Nicole, and D.J.’s mother, and Hailey, Haden, and Daren’s grandmother. She is an ordained Elder in the Church of the Nazarene, a preacher, shepherd, and evangelist with over 25 years of pastoral experience. Her leadership and teaching emphasize holiness of heart and life rooted in God’s transforming love.
Pastor Gayle’s life verse is Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Emancipated at age 15 and a survivor of domestic violence, she testifies from experience that God can bring beauty from ashes and wants people to know that they are not alone; there is more to life than the world offers. God graciously heals and restores purpose as people surrender their past, present, and future, find community in a family of faith, and grow in loving God, loving people, and living hope.

Daren Heffley
Celebrate Recovery Co-Leader | Men’s Ministry Leader
Daren was introduced to alcohol and drugs in his early teens. By his mid-twenties, his life was unmanageable. Faced with the choice of jail or rehab, he chose sobriety in 1990 and hasn’t looked back. Instead, he gives back by helping others become and remain clean and sober. Daren’s search for a higher power led to the Highest Power and an ever-deepening relationship as a grateful believer in Jesus Christ. Knowing the many struggles, temptations, and worldly influences that are barriers to an intimate relationship with God and others, Daren directs our men’s ministry and co-leads Celebrate Recovery with Pastor Gayle.
