Pastor Alexandria & Robert Zahirniak
Lead Pastor, Identity in Christ Director
I have always desired to help people find truth in a chaotic world designed to confuse and distract. My adult life has been spent unlearning worldly doctrine that opposed God’s word, and submitting to the Lord my life and desires. I thank the Lord that he put my husband Robert in my life as a teen so that he could lead me to the Lord. I share this to show how important the influence of one faithful Christian can be in a person’s life. We are all called to spread the gospel. Here at TC First we are excited to help you have the boldness and knowledge to honor God in all facets of your life. Come grow with us!
Grow Student Ministry Director
God has always been a huge part of my life, so church has always been a priority in my family as I was raised in the Assemblies of God. As a youth pastor I strive to encourage young people to grow in Christ through Biblical knowledge.
Aurora Roberts
Worship & Social Media Director
Our goal in worship ministry is to go to God and take others with us. A strong worship team requires unity and trust. It is critical to provide opportunities for team members to get to know one another outside of rehearsals and services in order to foster unity. Building trust requires being transparent and consistent in communication, being open to feedback, and setting a good example. My family and I have been with TC 1st since 2008 and remain committed. I love the new direction God is taking all of us and am excited for the future!
Mary Beth Allen
Gather Event Director & Bloom Women’s Ministry Director
Mary Beth has been raised in church her entire life, accepting Jesus as her Lord and savior at the age of 8 years old. Even as a young child, church involvement was something that her parents instilled in her and her brother, so helping others get connected has always been very important to her. Mary Beth began helping with the TC First Women’s Ministry in 2022 by hosting seasonal “Crafternoons” that started with only 7 ladies and within a years time were running close to 30 attendees for each event! Mary Beth has been married to her husband Mitch since 2006, and is the proud Mama of a beautiful daughter, Rylee, and step-mom to her three bonus children, Bryan, Morgan & Madison. She understands the everyday struggles and responsibilities of being a full-time working wife, mom & devoted Christian, all while trying to squeeze in a little time for yourself. She is very excited for the future of “Bloom” and looks forward to growing this ministry with the lovely ladies of TC First!
Angie Imerito
Connect Director
Hi! My name is Angie and I am so excited to be given the opportunity to create lasting relationships with our community members and visitors.
On July 6th 2014, God led me to TC First and I officially became a member after a few short months and I’ve called it home ever since.
When I'm not working, you can find me scrap-booking, taking photos or hanging out with friends and family.
Nell Zahirniak
TC First Sprouts Director (Children’s Ministry)
I have worked with children all my life. When I see students, years later, all grown up, and they recall some of the lessons I taught them, it warms my heart and encourages me to keep pouring into the next generation. I look forward to watering the seedlings and sprouts at TC First.
