Tricia Linville
Communications Director

Tricia, with the love of her life and her husband since 1988, Troy, have three beloved adult children: Trevor (husband of Katie and father of Benjamin), Thaddaeus (husband of Tabatha and father of Orion), and Catriona (wife of Juan Robles).
Tricia is the Communications Director, designing and producing many of the publications and visual media around MLBC.
Tricia loves to worship Jesus by communicating His love for people through various media, especially music, to give Him all the glory for all that He has done, is doing, and will do for His people!
She also likes to attend and participate in live theater, hang out with her growing family and friends whenever possible, and occasionally do a little axe throwing.

Danielle Lee
Executive Administrative Assistant
-
Danielle and her family moved to Moses Lake in 2021. She, her husband, Scott, and daughter, Alyssa, love the outdoors.
As the Executive Administrative Assistant, Danielle assists in the efficient management of our God-given resources, facilitating faith-based preparation and intentional stewardship, allowing ministry leaders to focus on impact, not administration. She feels finance should be a complement to ministry leaders, not a challenge.
Danielle loves to intercede for her brothers and sisters in Christ; that relationships develop, encouraging meaningful conversation and fostering growth and accountability; that Christ’s healing be known in the lives of the hurting. The kids in our community (especially North Elementary), and the Moses Lake/Grant County region at large, have a special place in Danielle’s heart; for Jesus to be seen and known through His Spirit’s work in and through His people.
