Chip Crush
Raised in the Catholic Church, Chip thought he was in good standing with God until he heard the Gospel from who would be his eventual father-in-law in February 1997. He was cut to the heart when, by the work of the Holy Spirit in his inner being, he came to understand his sin in light of the holiness of God. He immediately came to genuine faith in Christ and began to grow in the grace and knowledge of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and that work of grace continues today!
Chip is the husband to Mimi and father to Annabel, Charlie, Johnny, and Charlotte. A Louisville native, he helps others call Louisville their home by working as a realtor as well as a small business owner.

Deacon of Missionary Communication
Nate Brock
Nate was blessed to grow up in a Christian home. His parents were church planting missionaries in northern Italy for 10 years, so his whole life revolved around the gospel and the church. Nate made a profession of faith when he was a child, but it wasn't until his teenage years that the Lord worked in his heart to take his faith more seriously. Through real conviction of sin and a real need for a Savior, the Lord caused his faith to be established clearly on the gospel of Jesus. Since that time, he has continued to work in his life to bring the gospel to bear in fresh ways. He thanks God for his gift of eternal life through Jesus!
Nate serves on the stateside staff for Reaching & International Ministries. He's been married to Rachel since 2014 and they have 4 children: Charlie (born 2015), Will (born 2017), Kate (born 2019), and Jacob (born 2021).
As the Deacon of Missionary Communication, Nate maintains connection with families Clifton has sent out to ministry as International Workers or Global Gospel Partners.

Liz Popp
Liz grew up in a Christian home with her 6 siblings, and was saved when she was 9 years old. When she was in college she was around Christian peers who helped her understand the need to know God and his word more deeply by studying the Bible for herself.
When Liz and her husband, Caleb, are not serving Clifton in various ways, they enjoy raising ducks and chickens. As an Operations Manager, duck wrangler, and self proclaimed hobbiest in everything, she leads Clifton's sound team to creatively resolve every technology hiccup to allow the proclamation of the Word to be heard by any with ears to hear.

Jodi Ware
Jodi was blessed to grow up in a home with parents who loved the Lord and cherished the Gospel. The Lord opened her eyes to her sin and need for a Savior at a young age. He has been so faithful throughout the years to help her know, love, trust, and serve Him more, by His grace. He has used His Word and His Church in abundant ways, and she is quick to tell you of her gratefulness for the privilege of being a member of Clifton. She is the wife of Bruce, mother of two daughters and one son-in-law, and grandmother to three precious grandchildren.
