Perry Leadership

While at Emmanuel University (Georgia), Pastor Chris shared that he met the love of his life, Alicia, got married, and upon graduation, they began full-time ministry in 1998. Chris received his ordination in 2003 with the Assemblies of God. In 2014, they transitioned from Student Ministry to Lead Pastors in Mobile, Alabama. As Lead Pastor, Chris continued his education and graduated from Mount Vernon Nazarene University (Ohio) with a Master of Ministry and Business Administration. This year, Chris and Alicia will celebrate 28 years of marriage. Alicia is a full-time registered nurse, and they have three children: Michal, Emma, & Luke. The Summerlin family loves sports and the water, which includes boating and fishing!

Pastor Chris shares, “It is such an honor to share in the ministry and vision with Pastor Darrell and The Assembly in advancing the Kingdom of God, not through just one church but The Church!” 

Ella's bio coming soon.

Julie Lefvendahl has been a part of The Assembly at Perry since 2015. During that time, she and her
husband, Lenny, have been involved in various ministries, including Internet and social media, children’s
church, worship, small groups, and outreaches. They find it a true pleasure to use their God-given
talents to serve in His house and spread His love to others. Julie and Lenny count themselves blessed to
be a part of The Assembly and look forward with great anticipation to being a part of God's plans for
“Middle Georgia’s Family Church”.
