John Voelz (JVo)
- Coriolis: The Curator
- Besides the overall leadership of the church and staff with David, I oversee everything you see, touch, taste, hear and smell in the building.
- I love to experience life change in people. It's the stories. The Jesus stories. They fuel me.
Most people know John as the music guy, or the music and art guy, or the guy who does music and sometimes preaches, or the bald guy with the changing facial hair.
He's married to Tahni, his high school sweetheart. He gets weak at the knees in her presence, still. Their oldest daughter Karysa is married to Charlie and they live in the Seattle area. The fruit of their loins is his precious granddaughter, Clara Mia who renders him powerless like a Jedi mind trick. Their son Connor is a college student, lifeguard, and male model candidate (in his own mind). Their youngest daughter Kasidy is witty, poetic, artistic, and often makes him use the phrase, "that¹s funny, but inappropriate."
