Our Founders
At The Collage, we believe in the power of community and the importance of finding a spiritual home. Our journey began with a shared vision: to create welcoming spaces where individuals can explore their faith and celebrate their authentic selves. Each leader embodies this mission, bringing unique perspectives and experiences to guide and inspire others on their spiritual paths.
Join us as we foster connections and support one other in our journeys of growth and discovery.
Jaymi Hendrix (she/her)
Co-Founder of The Collage
"Hey! I'm Jaymi! I'm a Chaplin Candidate, Forest Bathing Practitioner, and Co-Founder of The Collage; aka professional haver of too many tabs open—both in life and in browsers. HA!
Our feral family (and others like ours) are our "why" for this wild ride. We are so thankful for all of the love and support every step of the way!
My passion is to create space and containers where all humans can belong and breathe."
Be Curious.
Ask Questions.
Love Always!
Paul Hendrix (he/him)
Decon / Recon & SpicyChurch
"Hi, I'm Paul - married to the most amazing (and spicy!) wife and we've got 3 equally spicy, full-of-life kids. I'm a general contractor by day, ADHD and goofy by design, and I'm fluent in dad jokes.
I'm not a Bible teacher or theologian - Decon / Recon isn't a class. This is a come-as-you-are space for real people, navigating real life and faith stuff, whether you're deconstructing, reconstructing or just trying to figure things out. No pressure, no performance - just presence. There's room for you here."
Austin Hetzel (he/him)
Co-Founder of The Open Table
"Howdy, I'm Austin! Previous leader of our neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ embraced youth Bible study The Open Table!
My aim is to be the person younger me needed: someone real, kind and all in on love and belonging.
Glad you're here!"
