Praise Assembly Pastoral Staff
Pastor Hans Pfadt
Lead Pastor
Pastor Hans Pfadt serves as the Lead Pastor of Praise Assembly, following the faithful leadership of Pastor Michael Petrucci. He is the third pastor to lead the church since its founding.
He first joined Praise Assembly in the summer of 2019 as the Student Ministries Pastor. With a deep passion for reaching the next generation, Pastor Hans invested wholeheartedly in Jr. and Sr. High students, believing those formative years are a powerful opportunity to encounter God and discover purpose.
Today, he leads the church with that same heart: a desire to see people of all ages transformed by Jesus and empowered to impact their world.
Pastor Bailey Giesbrecht
Youth Pastor
Pastor Bailey joined the team at Praise Assembly in October 2025 as our Youth Pastor. He brings over six and a half years of experience, where he has poured his heart into youth ministry and helped shape a culture where students could grow in their relationship with Jesus. His passion is to see the next generation discover who they are in Christ and live out their faith with boldness and authenticity.
He’s all about building real relationships, whether it’s through leading services, grabbing coffee with students, or just being present in the ups and downs of life. More than anything, Pastor Bailey has a deep desire to see people encounter Jesus and experience the hope, grace, and purpose found in Him.
