Zach and Dennisa (pronounced dah-ness-a) are not only married but they share a passion for ministry that roots back to before they met. Zach grew up in church, as a pastor's kid and has had a heart for worship from a very young age. Dennisa gave her life to God as a teenager and in bible school developed a passion for learning and preaching the word of God.  

 

The two met, fell in love, and were married in 2003. They answered the call of God as a couple when they started full time ministry together in 2004. With nearly two decades of pastoral ministry experience, they've served in just about every area of local church ministry: from children to mature adults, from small groups to urban outreach, from intimate times of worship to large evangelistic events. They've also been blessed to be able to learn from different church models: from a new, built-from-the-ground-up church plant to larger and growing, established ministries. 

 

They began hosting a weekly worship night in their Alewa Heights home with a handful of people at the end of 2015. Within a few months, their living room was full. elevate church HI was born. 

 

Zach and Dennisa have been blessed with the two most amazing kiddos, Abigail and Ezekiel,  whom they absolutely adore. They both currently serve on the worship & tech team. The newest (& hairiest) member of the family is their dog: Tito Taquito.
