Pastors Joe and Kirsten Tuttle have been in ministry together for over 15 years and have a passion to see people come into a real relationship with Jesus Christ. Joe and Kirsten were married in 2003, and have two amazing children, a daughter named Avery, and a son named Pierce. They served in youth ministry in Vancouver Washington, and then in 2006 God led them to move to Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho with Pastors Jonathan and Raydeane Owens, to be part of the Church plant for Heart of the City Church. For eight years they served as the Youth Pastors, Outreach Coordinators, and Kirsten led the Worship Team.
During that time God began to place on their hearts the vision of planting a church in Phoenix Arizona. This vision became a reality in 2014, as Heart of the City Church sent them out as their first official Church Plant to Avondale, AZ. Joe and Kirsten have a heart to serve the city of Avondale and the surrounding areas. They have a deep desire to see people meet Jesus, and let Him become the center of their life and in that find identity, destiny, and freedom.
