Staff Team
Trent Siverson—Pastor of Vision and Teaching
Faith: I have lived in Seattle my entire life and grew up attending a small church in the Maple Leaf neighborhood. In high school I left my family’s church and began attending North Seattle Church. Those formative years in the youth group deepened my decision to follow Jesus and confirmed my call to ministry. I have the unique experience of pastoring at the church that I have been attending for the last couple decades and I am consistently grateful for this beautiful community that I get to be a part of.
Family: I am married to my wonderful wife, Heather, and together we are raising two awesome kids: Clara and Jesse. We are grateful that almost all of our siblings and extended family live in the Seattle area. Our kids are lucky to be growing up in close proximity to their cousins, grandparents, and many aunts and uncles all investing in their lives.
Fun: I like being active, whether that means going for a run or bike ride, grabbing coffee and walking with my wife, or chasing after my kids. I also enjoy big adventures, exploring new places and learning about different cultures. This puts me in a place of chronically planning that next vacation or road trip.

Matt Broweleit—Pastor of Formation and Teaching
Faith: I grew up going to North Seattle Church, so many of my spiritual roots come from this community. College was formative for me as I wrestled with big questions at the University of Puget Sound and got exposed to urban ministry in Tacoma, WA. After 7 years with Russell investments, I switched to vocational ministry and eventually ended up at Denver Seminary for my Masters in Divinity. I’ve worked in multiple churches and denominations and have experienced Jesus in all of them.
Family: I’m from a big family—we all live within a couple miles of each other and actually enjoy being together! My wife Katie and I have four kids and are in the midst of the teen/college experience.
Fun: I love good coffee, making music and writing. I love soccer. A few years ago I wrote a book called Out of the 4th Place, which captures both my passion and angst for Jesus and the church. I love walking with leaders as they process their own lives and questions.

Liam Wright—Pastor of Worship Arts and Care Ministry
Faith: I grew up as a pastor’s kid, and after years of unpacking and searching, knew it was eventually time to figure out how to live in authentic relationship with Jesus rather than just downloading an inherited spiritual checklist. Today, I’m in the beautiful space of embracing God’s mystery, promise, power, creativity and unfailing love as I continue to discover who He has designed me to be.
Family: Our family is small, but dang is it mighty. I am married to my amazing wife Victoria, and we have a beautiful seven year old son… Romeo the corgi. The rest of our extended family is a bit spread out ranging from Olympia to Phoenix, but we’re happy to hold down the Seattle front and love being here!
Fun: I absolutely love anything to do with music, whether it’s writing, listening, performing, analyzing or collecting. I’m also a massive fan of being outside, adventures big and small, stuff with wheels, hockey, DIY projects, anything related to artistry and craft, and find so much joy in connecting with others and hearing about their stories and passions!

Zoey Montanye—Office Administrator
Faith: I grew up in a small town on the coast of California. During the summers, I would spend most of my time with my Papa where I would hear countless stories, including about the life of Yeshua. However, I was first invited into a church my Sophomore year of high school by one of my closest friends where I finally started to understand what these stories meant. I gravitated to Yeshua during this time, and knew that this was the life that I wanted to live. My relationship with Yeshua has grown so much throughout the years and really taught me what it looks like to 'act justly, love mercy, and walk humble with my God" (Micah 6:8, NIV).
Family: I am married to an amazing man, Brian Montanye. We have two fur-babies, Indy and Cash, our daughter, Eden Francoise, and one on the way, Israel Marie. The rest of our extended family live in California, Oregon, and Idaho with many friends that are like family in the Seattle-area.
Fun: I love water. You can normally catch me at the Seattle Aquarium with Eden, scuba diving in the Puget Sound, or paddleboarding on one of our many lakes with Eden and my pups. More than water, I love people. With this, I enjoy serving survivors of gender-based violence as an advocate through some of the toughest moments of their lives, and I am always planning the next trip to see loved ones, go to Disneyland, or to experience something new with my family.

Brian Montanye—Facilities Coordinator
Faith: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). My faith in Yeshua has brought me here to North Seattle Church. I knew of Him when I was younger, but I only had a relationship with Yeshua in the latter half of high school, thanks to a camp called Hume Lake. It allowed me to make my faith my own. I have seen Him perform wonders and miracles and seek to follow Him all the rest of my days. He has given me a heart for economic justice, and I hope this is the first step in that journey working here at the church.
Family: I am blessed to have a beautiful wife, Zoey Sky, and two exceptional and beautiful daughters, Eden and Israel. We also have two dogs, Indiana (Bones) and Cash (Money).
Fun: I like to read fantasy or history, go to Seattle Kraken games, or go to Disneyland. I plan to pick up surfing and painting this next year, as those are two of my fears I want to conquer.

Pablo Camano—Head Custodian
Faith: I was baptized in the Catholic faith and used to do a lot of church as a kid with my brother. One of my favorite songs is Ave Maria. I really love the work of God in creation and the planet itself with its rhythms of life and beauty. Today I’m trying to find myself and all my potential.
Family: I’ve been married to my wife for 20 years and gifted by God with two amazing daughters. I try to share as much time as I can with them in order to capture in my heart the moments in life that will never return.
Fun: I like experiencing new places when I can, whether close or far away. I am a nature lover because I love to feel the sense of freedom, peace and quietness without being worried about the time.
