Jeff and Melinda Knight became Lead Pastors of The Rock Church on February 6, 2000, after the tragic loss of founding Pastors Joe and Linda Knight on Alaska Airlines Flight 261. After serving The Rock Church for 5 ½ years as Youth Pastors, both Jeff and Melinda were more than up to the task of becoming Lead Pastors. Their work since the death of Pastor Jeff’s parents has been featured in numerous television and print publications. In 2008, they became parents when they adopted their baby girl, Seven Addison.

Jeff and Melinda are both from Monroe, and continue to pursue the vision to inspire purpose in this region and surrounding cities. In order to do so, Jeff and Melinda aren’t afraid to get creative in order to connect people to Christ. Jeff has been a local professional race car driver, he’s authored a book (The Revved Life), and he and Melinda have recorded six CD’s.
