Lead Pastor

Luke Bylsma

As lead pastor, Luke sets the vision for Gospel Light Church and guides the congregation through preaching and teaching.

He has a Master of Divinity (MDiv.) from Virginia Beach Theological Seminary. Before becoming a pastor at Gospel Light, Luke served for 8 years as an associate pastor and then as the youth and children’s pastor at Lakeshore Baptist Church in Michigan.

He and his wife Karin moved to Utah in 2022 to help spread the good news of Jesus Christ in the Salt Lake Valley. They have 4 sweet kids: Hailey, Ian, Judson, and Madelyn.


Pastor

James Gomez

Pastor James Gomez has faithfully served Gospel Light Church for more than 20 years, first as a deacon and then as a pastor, starting in 2005.

He led preaching and teaching at the church for two decades before Pastor Luke joined the staff.


Pastor

Dave Kush

Pastor Dave leads community group ministry at Gospel Light and has a burden for seeing Christ magnified through the lives of His people.

He was trained through a 2-year theological program at his previous church where he served as an elder for 8 years. Dave loves to see people grow in their faith and enjoys counseling couples toward a thriving and Christ-centered marriage.  

Dave and his wife Jana moved to Utah with their two sons in 2021 for work and a life change. Little did they know that God was preparing them for ministry too. Dave works full-time as a robotics engineer while balancing ministry, family, and discipleship.
