The Reverend Chase Campbell
Rector
Contact Fr. Chase

As a native of Pittsburgh, PA, I enjoy all things black and gold. My wife, Jamie, and I have been married for 15 years. We have three outstanding children: Lydia, Jude, and Rachel. Before going into ministry, I had a career as a commercial carpenter. I felt God’s call to ordained ministry during my carpenter’s apprenticeship. While working full-time as a carpenter, I completed my undergrad studies online through Hobe Sound Bible College. After college, I attended Trinity School for Ministry for my Master of Divinity and Gordon-Conwell for my Master of Theology.

In my free time, when I’m not chasing my kids, I enjoy running, shooting skeet, working on my garden, and reading.

 

The Reverend Mathew Allen
Deacon
(non-staff)

I have lived in Arizona since I was 10. I am married to Tina and together we have 5 kiddos and 4 grandkids, all within 5 miles of our home in North Phoenix. I earned a BS in Aerospace Engineering at MIT and ASU. I finally answered the call God placed on my life, and with the affirmation of my Rector and Bishop. I earned my Master of Ministry from St. Michael’s Seminary in San Clemente, CA. I was ordained to the Diaconate in 2001 and served at the Cathedral of Christ the King for the next 15 years, a North Phoenix Church that joined the ACNA in 2010. In 2015 my family became part of the Diocese of Western Anglicans and began our service to Living Faith in Tempe AZ. I served as Deacon and Tina served as Director of Youth Ministry. After 6 years of service, during the ‘terrible COVID shutdown’ and with the permission of the Bishop, we moved our family to CCA, where we have been attending since May 2021. My greatest calling in Christ is to go and make disciples of everyone that the Holy Spirit places in my path, and one of my greatest joys is in serving our Lord.

My hobbies include woodworking, gardening, (always) reading, and keeping up with the family.

Jamie Campbell
Interim Children’s Minister
Contact Jamie

Having grown up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I never imagined that I would now call Phoenix, Arizona my home! I am a wife and mom of three talented kids. Before transitioning to full time church ministry, I danced professionally and taught for many years.

In my current role, you will find me prepping lessons, playing with kids, and reading to toddlers. Working with children has been a great blessing in my life. Seeing God’s Story through their eyes is truly amazing.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, and relaxing by the pool!

Rector’s Assistant

I am originally from Oregon, where I lived until moving to Arizona with my husband Brent in 2019.  I attended a small Christian university in Oregon, where I enjoyed competing in cross country and track & field.  I later got to know my husband Brent while coaching together for the same program.  We have been married for 5 years, and have a dog named Murphy.

I previously spent 10 years working in healthcare but have recently decided to make a change and explore other career opportunities.  We have been attending CCA since 2021, and I am excited to join the CCA office staff.  I look forward to the opportunity to get to know more folks at the church through this role.

In my free time I enjoy running, coaching distance runners, taking my dog on adventures, reading, and outdoor activities like camping, hiking, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

Amy Fondry
Parish Life Coordinator
Contact Amy

Amy is a long-time resident of Phoenix and believes the Valley of the Sun to be the most beautiful place on earth. Her family has been a member of CCA for a considerable amount of time. When Amy isn’t at CCA, she enjoys gardening, driving fast, avoiding school zones and shoveling sunshine. Amy’s current favorite family member is Sebastian, her new vacuum. He is cheerful, reliable and does his job without complaining—all attributes she seeks to imitate!

In a recent interview Amy was quoted saying, “As Parish Life Coordinator I seek to connect all to our active and thriving community at CCA. If you are a new attendee or a long-time member looking for a new place to plug in, come find me and I’ll ensure you find a place in our church home.”

I grew up in the Midwest and moved down to Phoenix in 2016 to be closer to my parents. I met and married my wife, Lauren, at Christ Church. We have been married for seven years and we have two children: Maggie (4) and Benjamin (1). After moving down to Phoenix, I taught humanities and mathematics at Great Hearts for eight years before becoming the youth minister at CCA.

In my free time I enjoy cooking, baking, and listening to baseball games on the radio.

 

Dawn Hunter
Director of Operations

Contact Dawn

My family moved to Arizona when I was very young and I grew up in the neighborhood of the current CCA campus. My 25+ year professional background has been primarily in healthcare marketing research, where I was involved in leadership, and responsible for assisting organizations to make informed strategic decisions to grow their business.

My faith journey truly took flight when I started attending Christ Church Anglican in 2009, with my husband and children. In 2015, we were called to a new ministry of fostering and adoption, and I paused full-time employment for a season to accommodate new circumstances. And, in 2018, we were blessed to be officially add our two younger children to our family. And, in December 2023 we welcomed our first grandbaby.

I am excited to support the clergy, vestry, and staff to fulfill CCA’s mission and vision and help Christ Church be a place where God is worshiped and served in beauty and truth. When I have free-time, I enjoy reading, traveling, drawing, and connecting with friends.

I grew up in Arizona and attended the University of Arizona, where I earned a degree in Psychology with a minor in Classic Civilizations. I later attended Arizona State University, earning a degree in Accountancy. I began my career doing accounting for a small business before transitioning into the financial services industry. Afterward, I left the workforce to become a full-time mom until returning to work at CCA.

My husband, Kevin, and I met at CCA in 2010 and were married at the church in 2011. CCA has been a central part of our lives, and we cherish the community here. We are also proud parents to two amazing boys, Guy and Henry.

I feel lucky to work at CCA alongside such a dedicated and supportive team. My favorite hobbies include watching old movies, traveling, reading, running, and crafting.

Administrative Assistant

I’m new to Arizona, having moved here to be closer to family in July 2024 from Alexandria, VA, just outside Washington, DC. I grew up in St. Louis, MO and attended Lutheran schools and churches throughout my life. My husband and I met at a Bible study at the Lutheran Student Center at Missouri State University. I graduated with a BFA in graphic design and illustration. My husband, Jon is a construction lawyer. We’ve been married since July 2002 and have four kids. Our oldest son attends Valley Lutheran High School and our younger two sons and daughter attend Christ Lutheran School. We recently adopted a rescue dog named Boone. He’s four years old and a Shepherd/Husky mix. He’s really enriched our lives and made our hearts feel even fuller.

I have worked in churches for several years in similar roles. Although they have been Lutheran churches, I’m excited to learn about Christ Church Anglican while supporting the everyday business, clergy, and staff. Some of my hobbies when I’m not playing taxi driver, mediating disputes, or working, are knitting, crocheting, taking Boone for walks, yoga, crafting, sewing, exploring what Phoenix/AZ have to offer, decorating/setting up our house, and traveling/spending time with family.

Ben Guido
Instrumental Music Minister (volunteer)

I was born and raised in Connecticut and very early developed a love for piano and music. As a homeschooled student, I had plenty of time to devote to music studies earning first place in a national music theory competition in high school. I graduated with a B.A. in classical liberal arts from Patrick Henry College and then earned an M.A. in philosophy from Baylor University, almost completing a doctorate before changing career directions in life to move to Arizona (where my wife’s family is) and center my focus on my home and family. My wife Stephanie is a Phoenix valley native, but our daughter is a Virginian and our son a Texan.

Music has ever been a unique joy to me and a source of transcendence in a way that I struggle to convey in words. I am deeply grateful to be able to serve at CCA where I can sing theologically rich songs, both old and new, set to beautiful music.

Beyond music, language remains one of my central interests and pursuits, primarily through the philosophy of language, literature and linguistics, and language-based humor. I am an avid reader, Tolkien enthusiast, and maker of niche humorous art. I enjoy cooking, DIY projects, cinema, tabletop gaming, college football/basketball, and learning of all kinds.
