Khris Kennedy
Lead Pastor / Communication
I have been married to my incredible wife Valinda since 1995. Valinda and I have three children – Kensey, Karis, and Koleman. I also have a son named Khris who lives in California with his mom (ask me to tell you the story about Khris; it is an incredible message of God’s grace). I enjoy anything that puts in me outside, in camo, having not shaved for 3 days!
Wayne Bartley
Executive Pastor / Celebration
My family includes my wonderful wife Amy (married in 1995) and my daughter Kelsie. I enjoy spending time with my girls, any type of concert, playing golf (my favorite) or really any sport, and watching sporting events (except soccer, sorry soccer fans, I would rather watch paint dry).
Justin Howe
Family Pastor / Children
My family includes: Dorothy (my lovely wife, married since August, 2001) and my children: Alyssa, Chloe, and Ethan. Love to spend time with my family. I enjoy pretty much any sports activity, especially softball! I enjoy a good video game once in a while too. I love to see people come to know the Savior, Jesus Christ!

Jordan and Meredith met in college and have been married since June 2006. They have a sweet little baby girl named Zoey. They also have a little mutt. His name is Virgil. Jordan enjoys reading, mountain biking, snowboarding, skiing, adventuring with Meredith, playing with his daughter, spending time with his family, and running a fake psychic detective agency with his best friend Gus.
Christi Stermer
Ministry Assistant
I have been married to my best friend and the love of my life, David, since 2009. We met in 1995 by way of a mutual friend introducing us. David has a son Grant (I am his Christi mom) and we have a sweet and beautiful granddaughter, Gabriella. My joy is the love of my family and friends, as well as all the blessings and protection that God has provided me. I enjoy the wonder of nature, a good cup of coffee and a whole lot more... If we look back, God has held each of our hands and walked along our journey to reflect who we are to be in his glory! I am grateful to his calling at FBC Prosper.
Jennifer Coates
Ministry Assistant
I am married to my best friend, Spencer. We have three daughters: Maegan, Jillian, and Caroline. I enjoy traveling, dating my husband, and spending time with our girls. I grew up in Oklahoma, went to school at Texas Tech and love watching college football! I am passionate about telling my story of God's grace and mercy over my life and how he saved such a special man just for me, to display His redemptive love. (I'm also secretly attempting a coup d'état of Jordan's detective agency).
Caitlin Skidmore
Ministry Assistant
My husband Troy and I met at a Young Life callout our second week of college. We dated through our four years at Purdue, including the summer before our senior year when we interned here at FBCP. We loved the people, the area- basically we loved everything about Texas, and hoped to one day move back. We finished up school, married, and that winter, felt the Lord calling us back (yay!). We gladly obeyed and have loved being Texans since! It's been an incredible blessing to work here at FBCP and be a part of the incredible things that God is doing in this community. I also work at Cornerstone Assistance Network of North Central Texas, which is where most of my spare time goes!
Pete Van Epps
Interim Business Administrator
My wife Kimberly and I grew up in San Antonio. We've been married since 1998 and have three amazing daughters. We all have an 11 year old Boxer and a 3 year old American Mutt (girls as well). I enjoy hanging out with my family, playing golf, listening to and playing music and running (which I NEVER thought I'd say since getting out of the Army in 2003).
