Jeremy & Brittany Cleveland
Lead Pastor
Pastor Jeremy founded youth and young adult movements in Washington, Texas, and Colorado, leading thousands of people over the last fourteen years to experience the more that is a life with Jesus. He spent time as a missionary in South Africa and worked many years at Christian camps in the Pacific Northwest. In 2020, Pastor Jeremy and Brittany got married and agreed to make a habit of saying yes to Jesus no matter what it cost or where it would lead them. In 2022, God placed Zeal City in their hearts, a church for unchurched people, and brought them back to the city that felt most like home. The Clevelands desire is to see their city fall in love with Jesus. They have a 3 year-old son named Judah, who loves worship music and all sports, as well as a 9 month old daughter named Mila. Pastor Jeremy and Brittany will probably want to talk pickleball or fitness with you, or grab a great cup of coffee. They are big fans of the Broncos, Seahawks, Avalanche, & Colorado Eagles.

Joshua & Kendall Duncan
Next Gen Director
Joshua and Kendall have been involved with NextGen (birth-12th grade) ministry in some capacity for most of their lives. From serving as counselors at the Christian Camp where they first met in 2012, to most recently being on staff as Middle School directors at their previous church in 2023, they’ve committed their adult lives to raising up students to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
Joshua and Pastor Jeremy formed a friendship in 2016 at their church in Houston over their shared desire to champion the NextGen and served together in youth ministry for several years. Joshua and Kendall eventually moved to Dallas and there became parents to their two year old son, Levi, and their 9 month old daughter, Hadley. They absolutely love playing pickleball, and enjoy the outdoors, so needless to say they were excited when the Lord called them to help plant a church in the great state of Colorado.
