Colt has been a part of the HACC Team since 2005 and has led our youth on numerous mission trips, ski trips, and retreats. Of the many aspects that make up Colt's life, his love for the Lord, his love for his wife, Jess, and his love for creation are the most significant. Colt and his beautiful wife, Jess, were married in May of 2005 and are the parents to two very active German Shepherds, Aragorn and
Leonidas. Colt loves to surf, longboard, ski, kayak, and will rock your world in anything that involves a Frisbee; basically anything outdoors that poses a challenge to his existence. Colt's door is always open to discuss the amazing things God is doing in the lives of our youth.

OUR MUSIC MINISTRY TEAM

Susie came to our church family in 1999 from the staff of Tulsa's First Christian Church. She is an integral part of our music program. Not only does she serve as organist and pianist, but also selects and arranges music for traditional worship, special services and concerts. Susie is also the Director of Children and Youth music programs. She developed a love of church music as a child, as she listened to her father at the piano every Sunday, and eventually became pianist for children's church at age 9. After earning her BME from the University of Tulsa, she spent several years traveling across the country, singing, acting and musical directing. Upon returning to Tulsa, she taught music for Tulsa Public Schools, and directed the American Theatre Company's children's musical theatre program. Susie's husband, Rex, and their children, P.J. and Teddy , all share her passion for the arts and humanities.

Isaac says, "As the Praise Service moves in a new direction, we look forward to joining with Harvard Avenue Christians in lifting up Christ through our music."
