SPENCER SPEED
DISTRICT YOUTH DIRECTOR
Prior to appointment in 2017 as NTD Youth Director, Spencer and Lauren Speed served as Family Life and Executive Pastors at New Community Church in Mesquite. Previously serving as Youth Pastor and leading the NTD Camp Rec Crew for seven years, leading missions trips, serving with Youth Alive in school assemblies and multiple leadership training events has provided Spencer and Lauren with unique preparation for this role.

JACKSON SANDEFER
YOUTH ALIVE DIRECTOR
Jackson, in his heart of hearts, is a revivalist. He has witnessed moments of revival within youth ministry and on the campus, but is believing for the fullness of it across North Texas. He is a campus missionary to sports teams, lunch rooms, and has helped plant Bible clubs in one of the largest high schools in America. Through his ministry, Jackson has seen unchurched students saved, baptized, and healed! Our schools are the spiritual battleground of the nation, “If we lose there, we lose everywhere else.” His desire is to train, develop, and send out youth pastors who’s hearts would be broken for the campus, so revival would invade schools in every community through the church!
KRIS JARNAGIN
STUDENT MISSIONS DIRECTOR
Born and raised in Northern California, Kris attended SAGU and then served seven years as the Youth Pastor of The Grace Place in Arlington, Tx. He and his wife, Lyndi, have an adorable 1 year old boy, and a newborn daughter. He is passionate about equipping Youth Pastors to raise up the next generation of both goers and senders. Under his leadership, their youth students and leaders caught the heart of generous giving and were consistently at the top of STL missions giving year after year. He believes everyone is called to both go and send. We will all just do it in different capacities. There are missionaries sitting in our churches who need the opportunity to be challenged to step into what God is calling them to. Whether that is a missionary to another country, their neighborhood, their schools, or future workplaces. The Lord has called them to more than attending a youth service.
“If we can encourage students to both open their hands wide in giving and take a physical step into a culture or country they are unfamiliar with… they will see their role in God’s Kingdom differently.”
