Board Member
Stacie was born in Allagash Maine. The daughter of Pastor/Evangelist parents, from day one she was in a pew and never left it.
After growing up in Western Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, Stacie’s family moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1997. There, at Phoenix First Assembly of God under Pastor Tommy Barnett, she witnessed on a massive scale the impact of outreach and evangelism done with excellence and large teams.
A fire that was lit in Stacie as a little girl that caused her to send all her money both real and imagined to Bill Wilson’s outreaches in NYC was set ablaze with new fire. A fire she could be involved with personally beside her finances, thus her mandate was birthed: “Give Jesus what He came for.” Stacie answered that fire and attended Tommy Barnett’s Bible college alongside her soon-to-be husband, Keith.
Together they led teams in Bus Ministry, Adopt-A-Block, and Sidewalk Sunday School. For over a decade they were part of outreaches that met the physical needs of the community for the purpose of winning souls and directing them back to the house of God to be discipled.
While serving as inner-city youth pastors under the outreach ministry of Phoenix First, they also led street teams for soul winning and hosted variety-night events that gathered the youth of the inner city for one purpose: to hear the gospel.
In 2008, Keith and Stacie began co-pastoring an Assemblies of God church in Ely, Nevada. For the next Decade, the church reached the families of the city through a food ministry, outreaches, and healing services, and even carrying the gospel regularly into the brothels in town.
During those 15 years Keith had freelanced in marketing and media and then ran “3-Fold Media” a company that he started.
Knowing that there was more God wanted to train them in, Keith and Stacie moved with their four children to Tampa, Florida, in 2018 to join The River at Tampa Bay Church pastored by Rodney Howard-Browne.
It was in Tampa where Stacie learned that when God gives you a business, its purpose is to fund the Kingdom and produce soul-winning results. During those years she served as Chief of Staff for a Kingdom-focused company, leading teams, creating systems for 3 companies, and producing large events in the corporate realm. The partnership and purpose between business and ministry was solidified in her.
Now new to the Mansfield area, Stacie and her family had been asking God to connect them with the people here who are actively winning souls. In the spring of 2026, an Instagram ad caught her attention: an invitation for business people to gather around a gospel event coming that summer: The Festival of Hope. It was the answer to that prayer.
One of Stacie’s core messages is that the body of Christ, every part of it, must work together to accomplish Jesus’ mission on earth.
The mandate over Keith and Stacie’s life is simple: “The Great Commission is the Church’s mission. There is no other mission.” Stacie is so thankful to be part of that body of people, now in Ohio.
