Tina Kerfoot
Pastor of Children & Families
Tina is married to Brad and they have four children: Caleb, Paul, Josie and Maylie.
Tina believes that the Bible needs to be taught in an experiential way so that what is learned can be better remembered. She believes that the primary mandate to train up a child in the way that is right is directed to parents, but that the church as a whole must encourage and support the children as they learn and grow. Tina became a full-time pastor on staff at NLCF in 2004.
