After 13 years of co-pastoring, Robb transitioned to a new role with Vineyard USA in January of 2022 and Julie became Lead Pastor of DCV. Julie loves raising up leaders and seeing people come to know the love of God for themselves in ways that change them forever. She and Robb have two daughters, Emma and Via, who are two of her favorite people on the entire planet and inspire her constantly. Beyond ministry, Julie is a self-proclaimed coffee aficionado, chicken wrangler, musician, avid concert goer, fiction enthusiast and knitter of mostly hats, socks and washcloths.
