Meet the Ridgecrest Leadership Team

Andy Thornton

Teaching Pastor

I can’t believe early in life God has blessed me with the opportunity to serve at one of the most incredible churches in the country. Having the privilege to work with Pastor Hosea during an internship in college, I knew God wanted me to spend more time with this amazing person. Little did I know that only six years later I would serve under his leadership full-time. 

Hosea is one of many who have been instrumental in my ministry
for the last twelve years. My beautiful wife Sarah has supported me through many victories and trials. She has continually challenged me to be the man God created me to be, however, my life purpose comes only from Jesus Christ and His precious sacrifice.
