Jon and Lindsay Birkey

Our calling to serve in ministry started when both of us were teens. During these formative years, the Lord brought into each of our lives a Christian youth leader who discipled and mentored us. As a result of their impact on our lives, we each felt the Lord calling us to make an impact in the lives of other children and youth. We met in college where Jon was studying youth ministry and missions while Lindsay was studying family and children's ministry.

God first called us to Arizona to share the love of Christ with Native American children and youth by serving as Bible camp directors through Southwest Indian Ministries camp program at the Christian Community Center. In 2019, God put on our hearts to use our administrative talents to take over the management of the Christian Community Center. 

The Christian Community Center partners with churches and organizations so that together, we can be instruments of God to transform the communities around Phoenix. In addition to the partnership with WGM's Native American ministries, we also partner with churches and organizations to implement programming that shares the love of Christ to the communities around us.
