Lead Pastor

Justin Powell

Justin and his wife Cathi are lifelong Michiganders, having spent significant portions of time on the West Michigan lakeshore, Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, and the woods of northern Michigan. Justin grew up as a pastor's kid and comes from a family with a strong legacy of serving in the church. Now, with over 20 years of ministry experience in churches of varying sizes and contexts, he has developed into a bit of a "jack-of-all-trades" pastor.


In his free time, Justin will most likely be found deer hunting, officiating a high school basketball game, plowing through a non-fiction best seller, or speaking in his native tongue...sarcasm!

Next Gen Pastor

Joe DeBone

Joe came to Fieldstone early in 2019, and 15+ years of local church ministry have taken him from Metro Detroit to Chicago & Laguna Beach and back again. Joe is our NextGen Pastor, overseeing our Student Ministries and providing support whenever needed to our Fieldstone Kids team.


Joe's home base is definitely the front porch on a warm summer evening with his wife Leah and their sweet baby girls. When you see him, ask him about his affinity for WWE, Universal Studios, and all-things Jurassic Park.

Worship Pastor

Elissa Shattuck

Elissa is the newest addition to our team, coming to Fieldstone in 2025 as our first ever full time Worship Pastor. She’s spent 15+ years serving in local churches, and brings a wealth of experience that serves our church way beyond her “worship” title. Although born & raised in Michigan, school and ministry took Elissa to Nashville and Orlando before coming back north with her husband Brandon and three awesome kiddos.


Even in her free time Elissa doesn’t stray too far from the world of music, as she and Brandon love to write & record music together. She also enjoys board games, painting, and time outside in nature (especially biking!).

Fieldstone Kids Director

Christy Aunins

Christy and her family have been attending Fieldstone pretty much since the beginning, and she joined our staff shortly after that. She's been at the wheel long enough to see Fieldstone Kids grow from around 20 children to now around 60 children every Sunday morning!


Christy and her husband John have six kids! Add in a degree in Criminal Justice and a childhood spent in the deep south of Louisiana, Christy brings a wealth of unique knowledge, experience, and personality to our team. And if she had one wish, it'd probably be for a few more volunteers! :)

Lead Pastor's Assistant

Dani Lobb

"Assistant TO the Lead Pastor" ;)

Dani and her husband AJ have been deeply invested at Fieldstone for several years, primarily with our worship team and as Small Group hosts. She is a pastor's kid with a heart to serve, which uniquely qualifies her to support Pastor Justin (and the whole team) with various ministry responsibilities.


Right in the thick of the "young family" season of life, Dani can usually be found chasing her kids around, spending time with AJ, and making personalized hand-knit embroidery items (Seriously...it's legit! Ask her about it!).

Leadership Teams

Pastors/Staff

The pastor/staff team is led by the Lead Pastor. This team oversees the day-to-day ministries & operations in pursuit of the mission & values of Fieldstone Church.


Elders

This group supports the Lead Pastor in sharing responsibility for the spiritual care of the church. Elders are responsible to model a Godly lifestyle, provide a prayer shield for the church, defend & protect the integrity of the church, pray for the sick, mediate disputes, and provide counsel & wisdom to the pastors.


Deacons

These are trusted & respected members of the church who oversee the finances and direct the provision of the facilities needed by the church. Deacons provide counsel and accountability for the Lead Pastor regarding practical ministry decisions and the major financial commitments of the church.


Overseers

The Overseers are 2-3 respected pastors, from outside Fieldstone, who love Fieldstone and its pastor, and are willing to provide spiritual protection to the church if ever needed. They may be called in to help in accountability matters related to the Lead Pastor if requested to do so by the pastor(s), Elders, and/or Deacons.


If you have a question about anything Fieldstone related, feel free to get in touch with our Leadership Teams at info@fieldstonechurch.org and someone will follow up with you as soon as possible.


*If you have a concern regarding our pastoral staff and would like to discuss it confidentially, you can email leadership@fieldstonechurch.org and your message will be seen by one of our Elders. This email account is not accessible by our pastors or other ministry staff.
