Rick Hutton, Associate Pastor / NextGen
Email: Rick@CalNaz.org

Rick's family moved to Vero Beach, Florida when he was just 7 months old. It was there he met the most influential person in his life, Donna. He had always gone to church because he had to. After meeting Donna he wanted go to church to be with her and there he met God and answered God's call to engage in ministry. Rick has a BA in Pastoral Ministries from Vennard Bible College where Donna earned a PHT (Putting Hubby Through).They have one son, Josh, and a daughter-in-law to go with him, Kristie.

What is he passionate about? Right now, he has a real sense of urgency to reach those who don't have a personal relationship with God. Rick is also passionate about his family and the prospects of being a grandpa. Hello?

Do you have any hidden talents? I think so, I hope so, they tell me so, maybe not, I don't know, I doubt it...it's all so confusing!

Rick is the Connecting pastor. He strives to help people get involved in ministry and find their purpose in God's kingdom. He manages the church web site (and yes, it is weird writing my own bio as if someone else were writing it), and teaches Bible studies.

What does he like about his job?He really likes being an associate, the Senior Pastor's Right Hand...or Left Hand - depending on the day, the mood, or what needs to be done that day. He likes being asked and being available to help so many dedicated, sincere, hard-working, Kingdom building, Christ-following believers in reaching the lost for the sake of an Eternity with God.

"The past three years have been difficult, challenging, exciting, scary, and adventurous. I can't wait to see what happens next!"
