Chris Voigt

Lead Pastor

Chris has been part of the pastoral team at Dayspring for more than 20 years, serving as Pastor of Celebration Ministries since 2000, as well as Lead Pastor since 2018.

Chris says, “As a worship leader for more than 25 years, I have seen my share of both healthy and unhealthy ministries. Through it all God has developed a desire in me to cultivate greater health in the body of Christ – both spiritually and emotionally – and to challenge Christ-followers to love God with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength; to live out their faith, applying the truths of God’s Word to their daily lives in practical, meaningful ways.”

Chris is an innovator and organizer, passionate and purposeful; a servant leader with a shepherd’s heart. His fervent desire is to equip, encourage and challenge believers toward a lifestyle of faithful obedience to Christ.

In his spare time Chris provides business consulting to small business. He plays keyboards and guitar (though he doesn’t claim guitar very often), acknowledges an addiction to Diet Coke, makes a killer mac and cheese, enjoys reading, riding rollercoasters, and spending time with his wife, DeeDee, adult kids Lexi (Matt) and Josh, and granddaughter, Avery.

Michelle Snook

Pastor of Community Life

Michelle is our resident jill-of-all-trades! She’s been part of the pastoral team since 2005. At one time or another she has overseen our Children’s, Student, and Adult Ministries, as well as Staff, Leadership Development and Facilities.

Michelle has been a Bible teacher for more than 20 years, as well as an international retreat speaker and Bible study author. She is passionate about studying God’s Word and loves helping people grow in their relationship with Christ. In earlier seasons of life, Michelle worked as a fitness instructor as well as a paramedic/firefighter.

Michelle is an avid DIYer and enjoys crafting and sewing. She loves all things Disney, reading, travel, great food, and time with family and friends.

Michelle is married to Tony and they share four awesome daughters: Sarah, Amy, Jamie (Patrick), and Annie (Joe), as well as bonus daughters Lexi, June and Kate. Her grandchildren include: Tristen, Dorothy, Charlotte, Joseph, Jeffrey, Zayla, and her bonus granddaughter Avery!
