Pastor TJ Warren
TJ Warren serves part-time on the SCC preaching team, assists with all aspects of media along with a volume of various other tech-related responsibilities. An Idaho native, TJ was born into a broken family and raised by a small town of Bible-believing Quaker prayer warriors. Upon graduating Greenleaf Friends Academy, TJ attended Barclay Bible College and the College of Western Idaho in Nampa. TJ met his future wife in college and they soon began volunteering for ministry together at TJ’s home church. A year into his volunteer ministry, TJ was hired on as staff at SCC and has been serving in a bi-vocational capacity for nine years. When he is not at one of his two jobs, TJ loves gourmet grilling, winning board games, exploring the Northwest, and praying during Dallas Cowboys games. He describes himself as an adoring husband, father of three small gladiators and recovering- gamer with C level athletic skills.
TJ has a desire to communicate the gospel in a creative, compelling and relevant way.
Worship Leader Ellen Morse
With a background and education in music performance she has enjoyed being involved in the worship ministries since she was a teen. Her experience leading worship music has grown both through her church experiences and leading music at women’s retreats to her 20 years working with developing youth music teams at Greenleaf Friends Academy. Her feeling a call to music ministry sprang out of recognizing the way God speaks uniquely to His children through worship. Music helps the believer know Jesus in a deeper and more profound way by the Holy Spirit’s presence, extending beyond words into the heart and soul.
Ellen and husband, Stan have three grown children, three grandchildren, two dogs and a "mini-farm" in Star.
