We are thrilled to welcome Isaiah and Lottie Lackey — along with their one-year-old son, Malachi — to Real Life Church! Their very first Sunday with us will be September 28, and we couldn’t be more excited for you to meet them.

Isaiah and Lottie bring a deep love for Jesus, a passion for discipleship, and years of experience serving in youth ministry and worship leadership. Their primary role at Real Life will be investing in the next generation — leading and discipling our youth — while also guiding us in worship as a church family.

Isaiah is ordained with the Christian & Missionary Alliance and holds a Master’s in Ministry Leadership from Crown College. He’s served in youth discipleship, taught in cross-cultural contexts, and has been a worship leader (on drums, guitar, and vocals).

Lottie is also ordained with the C&MA and has a degree in Youth Ministry from Crown College. She grew up in Columbia Falls, has a heart for students, and is excited to return home to the Flathead Valley. For the past several years she’s been serving as an Assistant Middle School Director in Omaha, helping students and families grow in their faith.

Together, Isaiah and Lottie are passionate about relational, Spirit-led ministry—walking with students and families, building Christ-centered community, and leading people to encounter God through worship.

A Few Fun Facts:

Their son Malachi is full of energy and joy (and will quickly become part of our church family too!).

Isaiah is a drummer at heart, but also loves leading worship with guitar and vocals.

Lottie played soccer in college and spent summers counseling at Dickey Lake Bible Camp.

As a family, they love the outdoors, good coffee, and connecting with people around a table.

We can’t wait to welcome the Lackeys to Bigfork. Join us on Sunday, September 28 as we celebrate their very first Sunday with us at Real Life Church!
