Stewart Farrell
Sr. Pastor
Stewart has been the pastor at Fellowship since June 1999. Together with his wife Keri they have served the church for 20 years. Keri has been playing the piano since they started and she is quite possibly the reason they have kept Stewart around as long as they have. They have 3 children (two on earth and one in heaven)—Nathan, Micah, and Rachel. Brother Stewart’s passion is for people to know and experience the amazing love of God in their lives. His hobbies include woodworking, collecting hot wheels Mustangs, and walking in the woods with his dog Zoe
Jonathan Sloan
Associate Pastor
Jonathan joined the Fellowship Family in 2018. He serves as our Associate Pastor with a heart for Jesus, a love for people, and a knack for making just about anyone smile—whether through a kind word, a funny story, or his legendary dad jokes (you’ve been warned). He and his wife Kim have called Goldthwaite home for nearly eight years, and together they’re raising three energetic boys who keep life full of adventure, laughter, and the occasional Nerf battle. Jonathan is passionate about helping people grow in their faith, find community, and step into the calling God has placed on their lives. Whether he’s teaching, praying, serving behind the scenes, or just sharing life on the sidelines at a local game, Jonathan leads with joy, authenticity, and a servant’s heart. He and Kim love this town, love this church, and love seeing lives transformed by the grace of Jesus.
Elizabeth Jernigan
Connections Pastor
Elizabeth Joined our Staff in 2025. If you’ve ever been greeted with a smile, handed a clipboard, or invited to a potluck you didn’t even know you signed up for—chances are, you’ve already met Elizabeth. As our Connections Pastor, Elizabeth is basically the human version of a GPS—but instead of directions, she helps people find their place in God’s family (with fewer U-turns and less yelling at the dashboard). She’s passionate about making sure no one falls through the cracks, whether it’s their first Sunday or their hundredth. Elizabeth and her husband Kory have three kids, a lot of laundry, and a deep love for Jesus and the town of Goldthwaite. On any given day, you can find them cheering from the stands, serving in the community, or trying to figure out what’s for dinner—again. Her spiritual gift is making people feel like they’ve belonged here all along. If you’re not sure where to start, Elizabeth probably already has a plan (and snacks).
