Jason Aaron

Jason Aaron serves as the Co-Pastor of Outpost Community Church, a church he helped plant six years ago alongside his wife, Amanda. Jason has been involved in ministry for many years, serving in a variety of roles including pastor, small group leader, and Bible study teacher. He has a deep passion for teaching the Word of God, communicating its truths clearly, and loving both people and the community around him.

Jason holds a Master of Divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. In addition to his pastoral ministry, he has spent the last seven years working at the Community Center in Monroe, where he mentors and invests in local youth. He also enjoys coaching basketball for several different age groups, using sports as a way to connect with and encourage young people.

Mike Meade

Mike co-pastors with Jason Aaron as they share responsibilities together to care for the needs of the flock. He was called into the ministry as a young man and has served in various pastoral roles since 2014 (ranging from kids pastor, youth pastor, interim pastor, and senior pastor). Echoing the theme found in 2 Timothy 2:1-2, Mike’s heart's passion is to see souls to come to know the true Jesus, be led to have an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus, and lead others around them to Jesus.

Outside of the church, he works as a part of the support staff for one of Monroe’s public elementary schools, where he enjoys investing in the lives of students while staying connected within our community. Mike and his wife, Kaylee, were married in 2014. They have a five year old (DJ), a four year old (Kelly), and another one on the way (due in March, 2026).

In 2023 the Lord led them to move from their growing church in Tennessee back to Mike’s hometown of Monroe to reach the city with the good news of Jesus. Mike completed his bachelors from Midwestern Baptist College in the spring of 2017 and is currently continuing his education through Grand Canyon University.

Amanda Aaron

Amanda Aaron serves as the Church Administrative Director at Outpost Community Church. Alongside her husband, Jason, she helped launch the church plant and continues to play a vital role in its mission and ministry. Over the years, Amanda has served in many capacities — from children’s ministry and women’s ministry leadership to a variety of administrative roles that help keep the church running smoothly.

Before helping to start Outpost, Amanda was actively involved in her local church in Kentucky, where she served as a VBS Director, Orphan Care Ministry volunteer, and children’s Sunday school teacher. Her heart for ministry is rooted in a deep love for people and a desire to walk in community with others as they grow in faith together.

Amanda and Jason have four children. She loves spending time with her family, being outdoors, and traveling. What she loves most about serving is the opportunity to love and serve the people of her church — sharing life and faith together. Her favorite Scripture is Psalm 121, which reminds her of God’s steadfast help and protection.

Krystle Cusumano

Krystle has served as the Children’s Ministry Leader at Outpost Community Church since March 2024. She has a passion for working with children and finds her greatest joy in teaching them about the Lord. She has loved partnering with the amazing teachers and ministry leaders at Outpost to help guide young hearts toward Christ.

Before joining Outpost, Krystle taught children’s church at another congregation, where she discovered her love for helping kids grow in their faith. She is a proud mother of four and cherishes every moment spent with her children. Krystle enjoys crafting, party planning, and inspiring young hearts with the reminder from Jeremiah 29:11 that God has a plan to give us hope and a future.

Sal Cusumano

For the last several years, Sal has served as the lead of the security team at Outpost Community Church. With a lifelong passion for hunting and the outdoors, he developed a strong sense of awareness and responsibility to protect others. He has attended multiple concealed carry courses and helped organize similar opportunities for church members so we have a trained and prepared team.

Sal is married to Krystle and they have four children. His favorite verse, Ephesians 6:11 — “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes” — reminds him daily of the importance of being spiritually and physically ready to serve and protect.
