Bill Copeland - Lead Pastor/Elder
A Charlottesville native, Bill graduated from the University of Virginia in 1977. He subsequently attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary from 1983-1985. Bill served as chaplain, Bible teacher, and coach at Stony Brook school upon his release from seminary. In 1989, he took over the position as Headmaster at the Covenant School in Charlottesville. He returned to Stony Brook to serve as Assistant Headmaster there in 1998, and served there until he was called back to Charlottesville to serve as Associate Pastor at here at Christ Community. He assumed the role of Lead Pastor in 2008. Bill and his wife Sherry have been married for thirty years, and have one son, Reede. Bill enjoys reading, watching football, and spending time with his family and friends.

 
Geoff Maurer - Associate Pastor
Geoff came to the University of Virginia in 1996 for his B.A. He graduated four years later with much more: an incredible wife Kelly, the sweet and renewing experience of discipleship, and a call to vocational ministry. After serving for two more years at UVA with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, the Maurers headed New England for seminary. In 2005 Geoffrey graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with his Master of Divinity. They stayed in Massachusetts four more years as Geoffrey served at Covenant Christian Academy as the Dean of the Upper School, along with some teaching, coaching, and chaplain responsibilities. In 2009, the Maurers felt drawn back to Charlottesville to come alongside the planting of another Grace Network church, Rivanna Community Church in northern Albemarle. For these two years, Geoffrey taught at The Covenant School in Charlottesville, and served as a chaplain and coach. The Maurers have two young sons, William and Daniel.
 
Tom White - Family Life Pastor
Tom has been a Charlottesville resident his entire life, and long-time member of Christ Community.  He loves this town and is deeply committed to seeing the Kingdom flourish here.  He has had an abiding love for children and youth, one that God kindled through his time in education, sales, real estate, and coaching.  Now God is using Tom's diverse background and work experience in ways that help him love our community well in his current role as Family Pastor.  Tom is married to Amy, his high school sweetheart, and they have three children: Will, Mallory, and Carter.  He relaxes with humor, cooking, sports, and people (and people, and people).
