Meet The Team

Walt Walton
Faith and Community Coordinator
I’m happily married and Valerie and I have 3 boys. It’s been a journey . . .
A journey full of wonderful people I get to come across as we strive to enhance lives together. So grateful to be a part of a community that generates so much UNITY.

Matt Gordon
Director of Faith and Community
Born as a baby, here on earth. Got a bizarro-awesome family and a job. Dreams? I’d like to bowl a 200 and go to a waterpark again sometime. When I'm not hanging with my family, I give talks and write things (like occasional books). I'd love to connect about faith/work/life.

Madi Carey
Faith and Community Coordinator
Hi, I’m Madi Carey! I’m thrilled to share that I’m a brand new mom to a beautiful baby boy and happily married to my wonderful husband, Tyler. I take pride in keeping this amazing team running smoothly and loving every minute of it. Although I’ve enjoyed all my roles at VU, this one is hands-down my favorite. Well at least so far...I’m always up for new adventures, despite having an old soul. And when it comes to organization? That’s my game!

Kelly Wright
Faith and Community Specialist
Before VU, I was a professional counselor for 18 years and in ministry for 6. I met my husband, Hartley, on the school bus, and we've been on a wonderful journey together ever since. Madison and Micah are our children. I'm an 8w7 (IFYKYK!).

Heather Cox
Faith and Community Coordinator
I’m a wife to a funny guy and mom to a funny teenager. I love Jesus, being with my family, reading and running – when my friends join in on any of those things, life is even better.

Damon Fontinel
Faith and Community Specialist
Hey there, my name is Damon. I’m the senior citizen of the group, yet somehow by far the most tech savvy--seriously, what is wrong with this team? Been married to my lovely wife Paula for over three decades and we have one son, Blake.

Brock Bondurant
Faith and Community Specialist
I live for Jesus and transformation – renewal and revival of the individual person, the city, and
culture. Other than my wife, I have a few obsessions: Missouri sports, pour over coffee, and rivers and mountains; so look for me at Faurot, a downtown coffee shop, or on my bike on the Katy Trail.
