Pastor Jody and Tricia Shorkey

Pastor Jody joined our staff as our Associate Pastor on January 1, 2020, and became senior pastor in January 2024. He and his wife Tricia were raised in Southern California. They moved to Lincoln in 1997 with their two sons and daughter. It was at the First Baptist Church of Lincoln that Jody answered the call to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since that time, he has pastored several churches in Yuba and Placer counties. Tricia had worked as a school clerk in the Western Placer County Unified School District before her retirement. Jody and Tricia’s three grown children and two grandchildren, all live in Placer County. During their twenty-plus years in Lincoln, Jody has been involved in various activities like Christmas food drives, youth organizations, Gideons International, and a speaker at local schools as well as other organizations. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Counseling and Psychology and another in Biblical Theology from William Jessup University, as well as a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies at Liberty University. We praise God for bringing Pastor Jody and his lovely wife Tricia into our church family.  

Pastor J.R. and Carol Griggs
Associate Pastor

Pastor J.R. serves as our Associate pastor at Lincoln Community Church. His enthusiasm for serving God and leading the LCC family in worship through music comes out clearly during our Sunday morning worship services. J.R. and his wife Carol previously served as Associate Pastor before moving to Arizona in 2018. But God had other plans for J.R. and he and Carol felt the tug to be back near their family in California. He was called to be our Worship Pastor in August 2022 and subsequently called to once again be our Associate Pastor in January, 2024. Pastor J.R. and Carol live in the Sun City Lincoln Hills community.
