Conference Voices
Mark and Leigh Ramsey are the Global Senior Pastors of Citipointe Church. They live to bring glory to God, greatness to His Church and value to the individual. Their influence spans the globe, but their heart is always for people to find Jesus and a place to belong in the local church.
Leigh’s heart lies with those who live in the shadows; the unseen and the unsung. She is the Founder of It’s Not Ok Projects and the SHE Rescue Home in Cambodia - where the lives of so many girls at risk of being trafficked are radically changed. Leigh leads the Citipointe Girl Crew across the globe and brings love and laughter wherever she goes by living by the belief that there are no limits to what can be achieved if you don’t care who gets the glory.
Mark and Leigh have four adult children and some pretty awesome grandkiddos who they adore.
Nicole Crank is a dynamic inspirational speaker, pastor, blogger and author with a down-to-earth message of hope and redemption, in Christ.
After developing a hugely successful career in the corporate world, Nicole soon recognized her true call in life was to share her personal insights and hard-learned life lessons, as only she could.
Abandoned by her biological father before she was even born, the victim of a neighborhood molestation at age 10, treated as a social outcast as the news of the molestation leaked out at school, and raped when she was just 13 years old; Nicole understands hurt and rejection. At age 17 she found herself a pregnant, unwed mother.
As an adult, Nicole suffered physical abuse and injury at the hands of her first husband, a man who became drug-addicted and violent tempered. Ultimately, she was left a single mom with a young son, divorced and bankrupt, having to work hard just to survive.
Yes, the enemy intended to destroy Nicole, but God had a greater plan to use her gifts and talents to minister to thousands of hurting people all around the world. Her honesty and openness about her own personal mess quickly became her unique and powerful message.
Nicole’s uplifting confidence and outrageous, contagious faith is a shining example of God’s ability to make all things work together for good!
Nicole and her husband David are co-founders and senior pastors of FaithChurch.com, with three campuses in St. Louis, Missouri, and one campus in West Palm Beach, Florida. They enjoy working closely with their children, Austin, Ashtyn and daughter-in love, Morgan, each a vital part of the ministry.
Becky Lucas carries an innate desire to see people everywhere meeting intimately with God unrestricted by limitations or boundaries. Her love for God and people drives her to pursue quality and excellence in creating such atmosphere while inspiring others to greater heights in their unique calling.
Alongside her husband Aaron, she was formerly the Worship Pastors at Citipointe Church, Brisbane, but has since taken the call of God on her life to new directions and heights as a location pastor for Citipointe Church in North Colorado, USA.
Becky understands that to fulfil God’s calling one must first be able to see themselves the way God sees them. She actively lives out of that truth while inspiring others to do the same.
