Hello! I'm Carey Hughes, the Assistant Pastor at CTR, which means I do everything Paul doesn't do ( Jr. High & High School youth groups, College Ministry, Family Sunday School and preaching). I have a great wife named Tricia and six really fun kids; Amanda, Zack, Micah, Hannah, Josiah, and Abigail. I grew up in a Christian family just outside of Chicago and at the age of  fourteen I realized the Lord was directing me into full time Christian ministry and I have been training for it and involved in it ever since. I did my undergraduate work at Columbia International University majoring in Secondary Education (with an emphasis in Bible) . After three years as the Jr. High Director at College Church of Wheaton. Illinois, I headed down to Sydney, Australia and did a Masters of Theology at Moore Theological College. In 1998 the Lord led our family to Christ The Redeemer Church right here in Spokane and we love it! Come visit us !
