Meet Our Small Group Leaders
NE SEATTLE
AARON + CANDACE HAGEN, Small Groups Coordinators
Neighborhood: Bryant | Thursdays at 7:15pm
Aaron is an original born and raised Seattleite and Candace is from Calgary, Canada. They love living in and exploring the beauty of
Seattle with their two young sons. They know how hard it can be to connect with others in Seattle and want to provide a fun and safe place to grow in God and with one another! At this group you can expect to be listened to, encouraged, and to dig into what it means to love and follow Jesus. We look forward to meeting you!
Neighborhood: SOUTHEND | Wednesday at 6:30pm
ROCHELLE DOBSON
We are a group of young women, who are busy building our careers, deepening our understanding of God, and pursuing our passions and calling. Our group is not defined by our relationship role (single, married); rather we are all in a similar season of life. Our vision is to create a space for women in their 20’s - 40’s to pray, laugh, and support each other as we share what’s on our hearts, how God has been working in our lives, and dive deeper into our faith. We look forward to including you in our next small group!
QUEEN ANNE
AMANDA + ERICK ARMES
Neighborhood: Magnolia | Thursdays at 6pm
Erick & Amanda Armes are committed to loving and serving their community along with their 3 children. They host a family friendly group in the heart of Magnolia focused on sharing life with each other through fellowship, prayer, and discussion each week.
NW SEATTLE
KEVIN + GINA KIM
Neighborhood: Fremont/Ballard | Wednesdays at 7pm
As recent transplants from the Northeast we are grateful that God has so quickly provided a place we can call home in ASC. We hope to be a group that can extend the same challenging, support, encouragement, and love that we have so graciously received. All are welcome!
SOUTH LAKE UNION
BONNIE + KEN PODDANY
Neighborhood: Cascade | Wednesdays at 7pm
Our SLU group consists of people from all over the world, with different backgrounds and cultures. Yet, we are together to learn about Jesus and becoming less of us, more of HIM. We truly appreciate our diversity and differences. We love to meet lots of people from all walks of life. Whether you are married or single, young or not, from here or afar, if you are looking for authentic relationships to grow together as brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ, you are SO invited! We're looking forward to meeting you!
NORTHEND
KENNY + CLARISSA MA
Neighborhood: Shoreline | Thursday at 6:30pm
Originally from Canada and Hong Kong, we moved to Seattle over a decade ago for Kenny to work at a local tech company. We are parents to three bespectacled little boys, and we truly know what disconnectedness and loneliness in Seattle can feel like. It's our great joy to welcome those hoping to grow deeper in connection with each other and with Jesus to our group. We are a warm and friendly bunch who look forward to meeting you!
NW SEATTLE
RACHEL LOCK
Neighborhood: Bitter Lake | Wednesdays at 7:00pm
We are a group of young women learning how to follow Jesus together. Our time together often looks like building friendship by reflecting on scripture, sharing about our lives, and praying for one another and our communities.
