Keith
Switzer – Lead Pastor
keith@mosaicoflouisville.com

Rev. Switzer has roots in the
area to be served by Mosaic. His home church is Hazelwood UMC.
Before becoming pastor of Mosaic, Keith was the District
Superintendent. He participated in the Incubator process
sponsored by New Church / Congregational Development (NC/CD).
Keith also served on the A-team of the NC/CD, which is the
strategic planning team for that conference committee.
Keith knows and understands
the gifts that each of the Mosaic church campuses bring to the
project, and can help preserve those distinct gifts even as he
leads the new church into a new kind of ministry.
Dwight A. Hughes - Pastor
dwight@mosaicoflouisville.com
Dwight
comes to us from Atlanta, GA. After graduating from Morehouse
College in the 1980s, Dwight entered the corporate community
and moved from various accounting positions to a managerial
position. While enjoying his successes in the corporate life,
he struggled with the inequalities of corporate America. In
his effort to make a difference, he founded the Spirited Hope
Organization, which sought the support of churches and civic
organizations to partner with trained, classical musicians to
present annual concerts to benefit a selected agency caring
for those experiencing homelessness.
At the
pinnacle of his career with the Georgia Pacific Corporation,
he could no longer deny the call of God on his life. In
August 2000, he resigned from corporate life. He studied at
the Candler School of Theology of Emory University in Atlanta,
GA. Over the next three years, he served as mentor, hospital
chaplain, chapel liturgist and minister of young adults at Ben
Hill UMC. Dwight is honored to have achieved the Masters of
Divinity degree. He strives to use his life, influence and
gifts to mentor others in the direction of God’s grace.
Tim Jones - Pastor /
Fresh Fire
tim@mosaicoflouisville.com
Tim received Christ as his Savior at the United
Methodist Youth Camp in Leesburg, Florida. It was at this same
camp where he received his call to ministry. Youth work was a
great passion for many of those early years in the ministry.
Tim was a frequent speaker at Junaluska for their youth weeks
and seeing youth commit their lives to Christ was his greatest
thrill. His first appointment in the Florida conference was in
an inner city church in Tampa Florida. This bi-racial church
was a great blessing
For the past sixteen years Tim has been the
director of the Wesley Foundation at Florida State University.
Tim loves the unpredictability of the college environment and
loves to challenge students to sell out for Jesus. It has been
a great venture of faith for the Jones family to leave their
home and to move to the state of Kentucky. They know that the
Lord as led them to the state of Kentucky and to Mosaic. Tim's
passion is to help people learn to live in joyful obedience to
the Lord Jesus.
Marco Ballesteros - Pastor /
Emanuel
marco@mosaicoflouisville.com
Marco comes to Mosaic from Mexico. His most
recent ministry involvement has been the organization of a
massive concert in Guadalajara. This concert experience,
called "Mad House," raised money for an orphanage called Oasis
En-Gedi.
Marco came to Christ in 1990, and as he has
grown in his faith he has also grown in his sense of being
called to ministry. "One of the visions I have had from my
first years of following Christ has been to reach the young
people for Christ through an integrated ministry that includes
music." Marco is multi-talented, playing guitar, keyboards,
and drums along with programming computer music.
Brian Hicks - Pastor / Urban Ministries
brian@mosaicoflouisville.com
Brian is from Lexington, Ky and grew up at
Trinity Hill UMC. He has been actively involved in leadership
in the United Methodist Church since his teenage years. He
served as the Conference Youth President and Head Resident
Director at University of Kentucky Wesley Foundation.
Brian's vision for ministry is to guide others
in the process of discovering how they might love God and love
people in the communities they call home. "Too often we talk
about going to some other place to mission work... yet the
gospel makes it clear that we are to begin by loving the lost
and broken in our own neighborhoods and communities. My vision
is that Mosaic will be committed to loving 'the least of
these' as we develop faithful followers of Jesus."
