EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & PASTORAL LEADER

Jess brings her gifting in both ministry and leadership to her role as Executive Director and Pastoral Leader at Sunset Ridge. She earned a Masters of Global Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary and has served Sunset Ridge Church for 10 years. Prior to that she spent 10 years in business leadership and management. Jess has a calling to point each person to the belovedness that they carry, and a heart for eye-to-eye conversations over a good cup of coffee. She spends her time with her husband Nathan, who plays guitar in our worship band, and her three children Luca, Julian, and Shiloh—who are each her favorite. When not on campus she can be found adventuring, hosting dance parties, attending Pearl Jam concerts, or with her nose in a book.

PREACHING MINISTER

Riley holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biblical Languages and a Master of Divinity Degree, both from Abilene Christian University. Riley has been married to Sunset Ridge's Family Minister, Chelsea, since December of 2021, which he assures us is not a conflict of interest. Riley is passionate about discipleship, teaching scripture, and taking seriously the call to love one another. On his days off, you can usually find Riley reading a book, getting unreasonably upset about losing a board game, daydreaming about the Rocky Mountains, or deep into a game of Ultimate Frisbee.

FAMILY MINISTER

Chelsea loves creating spaces for children, teens, and families to share life together. She grew up in Amarillo, Texas and spent the past five years in Abilene, studying Youth and Family Ministry at Abilene Christian University, where she is currently working on her Master’s of Divinity. She loves coffee shops, traveling, and hanging out with Riley and their dog Copper.

DEPUTY DIRECTOR

Taylor brings her creativity and 15 years of nonprofit experience to helping implement the vision for the Sunset Ridge Collective. She grew up at Sunset Ridge Church and is thrilled to be a part of shaping it for future generations. She has a Master’s degree in Art Education from The University of Texas at Austin and has worked in various nonprofit spaces creating community and bringing new ideas to life. She was previously the Director of Programs & Exhibitions at Artpace San Antonio. Taylor is a proud mama of two children and is married to Hunter who is the Worship Leader and keyboard player for the afternoon services.

COLLECTIVE COORDINATOR

After growing up in Sunset Ridge Church, heading off to Texas A&M, and graduating with a degree in Business Marketing, Noëlle came back to help build Sunset Ridge Church’s Instagram and Facebook presence. Since then she has taken on an administrative role with Sunset Ridge Collective and will also utilize her professional experience as a wedding coordinator to help shape the Collective’s missional wedding rental program.

COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR

Mae is a seventh generation Texan, artist, and mother of three daughters. New to San Antonio, Mae has been a Family photographer since 2010 and has become a leader in her industry through images and education. As Communications Coordinator, she is producing content, documenting through photography and video, and continuing to build community for herself and Sunset Ridge Collective through vulnerable imagery and storytelling.

CHURCH ADMINISTRATOR

Sean has lived in San Antonio most of her life, and has been a member at Sunset Ridge since 1976, joining the church office staff in 2005. She has a B.A. in English from Texas A&M University. Sean and her husband, Bob, are the proud parents of two amazing daughters.

ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

Jan is a retired special education teacher and school administrator. For the majority of their careers, she and her husband, Larry Bob, taught in La Vernia, TX, where they also raised their son, John Carter. Jan began working in the church office one week after her retirement in 2007. Some of her greatest joys are time spent with John Carter and her granddaughter, Carter Sage, the annual trip to Leakey, TX where she and Larry Bob spend 3 days with close college friends and time spent laughing at their pups, Linus and Lucy and at the antics of Waddles, the church cat.
