Aaron is the second oldest of Kenn and Kathi Denn, who are going on their 28th year of marriage!  He has three other siblings; an older sister Anya Piper who is married and has four kids, and along with her Husband Aaron Piper, are Youth Pastors in Pennsylvania. He also has a younger sister, Ashley, who is studying Business at Columbia Basin College in Pasco, WA, and also a younger brother, Andrew, who is in his junior year of Highschool.   

 

Being the second oldest, he has grown close to his siblings and family.  Becoming stronger and better friends as time moves forward.  His family has been a wonderful support and encouragement through his journey in becoming the Student Ministries Pastor at New Life Assembly.

 

 

Aaron graduated from Kennewick High School in Tri-Cities, WA in 2002 with a 3.5 gpa, where he was also the Campus President of the Youth On Fire Bible Club.  He continued his education with a brief enrollment (2 Quarters) at Columbia Basin College and then in March worked full-time until the fall.  He then decided to transfer to Northwest University located in Kirkland, WA where he would pursue His Calling into Ministry as a Youth Pastor. 

 

He Graduated from Northwest University in December 2007. All the while participating and taking on levels of leadership which would further his expertise in ministry and fuel his passion for a lost generation.  He has taken many classes that have developed his brain, his spirit, and his heart to further develop his education and passion for ministry.

 

 

Since Aaron was 16, his heart was developed with a longing and a passion to shepherd and disciple a young generation.  As he continued through Highschool, the heart and passion that was deep within him only grew more.  He also began interning during this time, and was the right hand man of the youth pastor, Derrick Hatke.  Derrick began to take and mold and mentor Aaron's young passionate heart to understand discipline, commitment, and the call of God on his life for the youth.  As he continued to grow up, the call of God only became more clear and He continued paricipating in ministry from that age until present day.

 

While away at College, he participated in on-campus small groups and in the student led prayer and worship service, Pursuit, until his junior year.  His senior year he became the leader of that very same  ministry and helped foster and create a deeper intimacy in worship on campus. 

 

During this same time in college, he participated in several churches' youth ministries, looking for the best fit and greatest opportunity for personal growth.  He landed at Valley Christian Assembly in Fall City, WA located about thirty minutes southeast of Kirkland.  He became an intern under the Youth Pastor, Greg Knott, and helped model and mentor the young people into a deep and authentic relationship with Jesus Christ.  He stayed at Valley Christian Assembly for two years before graduating and then joining the staff of New Life Assembly here in the Spokane Valley. 

 

His heart is to build this generation into a  powerful generation of leaders that will go on to lead the Generations!  He is excited to be on staff and have the chance of a lifetime to begin raising up this young generation and equipping them for their divine purpose through authentic and relevant biblical models, teachings, worship and prayer times.
