OUR ELDERS

Profile photo of pastor JT

JT Dick

JT moved to Denton from Springfield, MO in the summer of 2022 to become the Lead Pastor of C3. He is married to Kali, and together they are proud parents to Ezra, Sable, and Atlas. For fun, their family loves to spend time exploring the outdoors: hiking, camping, backpacking, and cycling. They are huge fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, their backyard chickens, and craft coffee. JT has a Master of Theological Studies from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and is deeply convicted by gospel centrality as it relates to all areas of the Christian life. He desires to see the saints rest in the promises of Scripture, press into community together, be equipped for the ministry of the church, and be mobilized to share the beauty of Jesus to the heart of Denton and beyond.

CODY MCCOMMAS

Cody was raised in Granbury, TX, schooled in Denton, TX, and married in Houston, TX. He returned to Denton as soon as he could, then began attending C3 in 2010 as a non-believer. There he was saved, baptized, and shown the Lord’s incredible love and grace. He is married to Karen, wrapped around the tiny little fingers of their young daughters Eliza & Veronica, and always psyched to talk about adoption and foster care. Spare time includes fire pits, cookery, board games, crawfish and having a regular mustache & unmemorable beard.

BRYAN BLASKOWSKY (on sabbatical)

Bryan was raised in a number of small towns throughout Texas. Denton has been his home since 1992. He was adopted in high school by a Jesus-loving family in East Texas and was soon overwhelmed by the love and redemption of His Savior. Bryan attended UNT in Denton where he met, fell in love with, and married his college sweetheart, Sarah. He eventually received his BBA at UNT in Logistics and his MBA at SMU in Strategic Leadership. Together, he and Sarah have two wonderful kiddos and an impossibly busy schedule. Bryan loves science fiction, reads sailing textbooks for fun, and all things guitar-related. He loves everything about old boats and sailing and leads outdoor discipleship-based adventures with Wild Your Life.

Jessica Terrill

Connections Coordinator

Jessica discovered her love for Denton, TX in 2006 when she began her freshman year at UNT. Her love for children’s ministry began years earlier when she was a child, herself.

She considers her role of connecting people in our church to be a dream come true.

Brandon miller

Worship Director

Brandon was raised on a  chicken farm in the Piney Woods near Nacogdoches Texas. He studied Music Education at UNT and currently teaches music at Hodge Elementary in Denton. His wife Molly, who he met when her dad bought his dad’s chicken farm (it’s essentially a Hallmark movie), is the world’s most wonderful human being and works online for Stitch Fix. They were both raised in the way they should go by intentional, godly parents and have not departed from it. By God’s grace they will impart the same to their children Paloma, Gabriel, and Leona. Brandon wants to remind you that, whatever it is, you should probably pray about it.

Ministry Resident, Student Director

Chase was born and raised in Carmel, California. Although he had heard the Gospel before, God pierced his heart on a church trip when he was 15 and he was saved. Ever since that day, he has been passionate about the Gospel. Chase has a passion for serving, leading, teaching and discipling people, especially in the context of youth ministry. He is engaged to his wonderful fiancée Vivien, and cannot wait to be married to her! He is currently completing his degree in Biblical Studies at Belhaven University online. Chase loves to hang out and talk with people about their lives and enjoys playing sports and being outside. He also has a very strange fear of cartoons.

ashley barkley

C3Kids Coordinator

Ashley was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner). After she married her husband, Dan, they moved to Denton in 2013 and began attending C3. She and her husband fell in love with the community, vibrant worship, and gospel-centered teaching at the church immediately, although her love for Texas is still a work in progress. She received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2005 from OU and finished her M.Ed in Community Counseling in 2009 from OU as well (did I say Boomer Sooner?). The Lord placed a love for children and families in her heart at an early age and that passion is now being lived out in her counseling work with children in the Texas foster care system and her desire to serve families through C3Kids. She loves traveling and exploring with her husband and two kiddos, Rhett and Archer. She also loves being outside, working out, sports, reading, and spending time with people.

Karen has served in multiple capacities over the years including setup, hospitality, admin, C3Kids, and working with foster and adoptive families. Singing praise songs and watching the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice are thoroughly enjoyed. Public speaking, writing about herself, and asking to speak to a manager are to be avoided whenever possible.
