JOHNNIE MOORE
I’m Johnnie Moore and I serve as the Vice President of Communications and as a Campus Pastor at Liberty.
You can catch me speaking in Convocation or Campus Church, leading students in missions’ campaigns throughout the 1040 window, or buzzing around the hallways darting from meeting to meeting.
I’m pretty passionate about missions and theology, communication and globalization, cultures, politics, the news, reading and writing. Most of all, I’m enthralled by the vision of a generation of history-making students carrying the love of their Redeemer to the nations.

JUSTIN KINTZEL
Hi! I'm Justin Kintzel. I have the amazing opportunity to serve as the Worship Pastor and Creative Arts Director here at Liberty. I lead worship for Liberty's Convocation and Campus Church services.
I graduated from Liberty in May of 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Visual Communication Arts degree with a concentration in Graphic Design. I have a passion for worship music, song writing, graphic design, videography, photography, and overall just seeing Christians doing things well for the cause of Christ. We have the creator of the universe inside us! We should be the most creative people around!
Originally I am from Golden, Colorado where my parents still live. I have a little brother, Jonathan who lives here in town! I have a great family and owe them so much for their constant love, prayers, and support. In November of 2010, I married a wonderful, godly, talented, and beautiful girl named Ashley. We now live here in Lynchburg and had our first baby, a girl, in Februrary of 2012.

SETH GRUTZ
Hi! I’m Seth Grutz and I serve as the Director of Convocation at Liberty. It is my privilege to assist in speaker selection, invitation, and booking as well as working on the logistics of each speaker’s visit to Liberty University and making sure the program of Convocation itself is professionally and efficiently put together. We strive to provide our students with the opportunity to learn and be challenged by the wisdom and experience of successful and professional individuals. I truly believe that Liberty students can be inspired to impact the world for Christ because of what they have heard, learned, and been impassioned to do in Convocation. I graduated from Liberty in December of 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Religion, concentrating on Biblical Studies and minoring in Intercultural Studies. I have a love for the world and its peoples and desire that every person would have the opportunity to hear about salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Graduate studies are coming soon! Originally, I am from Springdale, Arkansas. My parents and little sister still live there. This past June I was blessed to marry an incredibly beautiful and godly girl named Lindsay, and we now live here in Lynchburg with our dogs Sampson and Hudson. |

BRANDON SHARP
I'm Brandon Sharp and I serve as an Assistant to the Worship Pastor here at Liberty. There are a few different aspects of this role - I am the assistant music director of Campus Band and ultimately, Justin Kintzel's sidekick! I also have the incredible opportunity to join in leading worship with Liberty's Campus Worship Band. This is my fourth year at Liberty University looking to graduate with a Worship degree: Specialization in Worship Leadership. I have many passions such as song writing, programming, producing, engineering, and taking Christian music to a new level. I was born in Venezuela on the mission field, raised in New Oreleans, LA, and spent the last two years of high school in Atlanta, GA. Coming to Liberty back in 2009 was not merely by chance, but by the Lord's calling in my life. I am extremely excited to see where He takes me in my pursuit of Him and with this worship ministry He has set before me! |

TIMOTHY RIORDAN
Hello! I am Timothy Riordan, and I serve as the Assistant to the Creative Arts Director here at Liberty. Under this title, I will be engineering, producing, and editing various projects for Justin Kintzel and the Campus Band, completing any other jobs that may lighten Justin's load, and ultimately providing my service to encourage our spiritual programs to be a success in any way I can. I am also honored to help lead worship with the Campus Band weekly.
I will be a senior this year and expecting to graduate with a degree in Worship, specializing in Song Writing. I currently engineer and produce albums for the Department of Ministry Teams here at Liberty. I also enjoy writing and recording my own music when I get the chance.
I was born in Fort Worth Texas, but I spent most of my life in Griffin Georgia where my father was pastor. I have a WONDERFUL family of eight including four beautiful sisters, an awesome brother, and the two best parents anyone could ask for. I will forever owe them all for their great love, prayers, and support. My walk with Christ is a continual, beautiful, and exciting journey. I know God is always at work, I just hope to be focused on Him so that I may be used to accomplish his perfect will. |

JONNY WILLIAMS
Hi! My name is Jonny Williams and I work with the Director of Convocation. I get to take care of the logistics backstage before and during Convocation, which ranges from making sure everything is ready in the green room before the speaker gets in to making sure the stage doesn’t catch on fire during the service (just kidding). This gives me the opportunity to spend some time with and learn from the amazing men and women who come in to share at our weekly gatherings. I’m also a research assistant to one of our teaching pastors and get to help in researching for sermons and class lectures. Through this, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge in a wide range of subjects and also to partake in helping at our campus church services. I was originally born in Guatemala but grew up in Honduras. In 2009, through God’s grace, I was able to come study at Liberty, where I’m expected to graduate with a major in Public Relations and Advertising in 2013. Some of my passions are studying and teaching God’s word, missions and creative communication. |

BEN RITTER
As the Graphic Designer for Spiritual Programs, most of what you see on screen at Convocation & Campus Church is made by me.
I am a Senior in the Graphic Design program. My interests & passions consist of art in every form; I'm always searching for new creative outlets & inspirations. Some of my current favorites are cut paper, mixed-media, & acrylics. I'm originally from Corpus Christi, TX. After I graduated from high school, my family moved to Baltimore for 2 years to plant Captivate Church, but now they're back in Texas, looking for the next big thing in God's plan for them in Plano. I am absolutely in love with the fact that Liberty has allowed me to further my education, not only as an artist, but also as a child of God. |

LEXIE DACHE
Hey there! I'm Lexie Daché, and I serve as the Assistant to the Director of Convocation. Basically I help with all the behind-the-scenes planning of Convocation, involving everything from hotel scheduling to announcement writing. When I first started, I was amazed at how much work goes into each and every Convocation service, and with each day on the job, I grow more honored to get to work with this talented team that makes it all happen!
My time at Liberty has been severely impacted through the Student Leadership ministry, where I am honored to also serve as a Resident Assistant. I firmly believe that the leadership structure at Liberty is what makes our university so unique and effective in carrying out it's mission to train champions for Christ.
I will be graduating in May with a Communications degree, and pursuing a career in Public Relations and Advertising.
