THE TEAM
Every spiritual community needs someone, official or unofficial, to guide them towards Jesus.
“Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith.” – Hebrews 13:7

Gavin Linderman
Lead Pastor - gavin@axiomchurchaz.com
My wife and I planted Axiom Church in 2013 with a desire to help people experience Jesus. We have submitted ourselves to giving the best of our imaginations to that initiative by any means possible. We love dreaming as much as we love creating spaces for people to connect with God. I have enjoyed witnessing our church spill out into the city through new projects, businesses, acts of service and relationship building with people you wouldn’t expect to find in the church. As an Anabaptist I am passionate about a relational spirituality that is kingdom focused and Jesus centered.
Micah Bentley
Worship & Arts Pastor - micah@axiomchurchaz.com
I have a passion for curating and leading in spaces to experience God’s goodness and love through all expressions of worship and art. As a practicing singer/songwriter I have spent years experiencing God’s presence in the sacred and the secular through my relationship and work with the music and arts. As a spiritual director I love to journey alongside others in their growing relationships with Jesus. My greatest passion is my family which includes my wife Ashley and my 2 kids Brighten and Elliotte.
Ashley Bentley
Administrative Assistant - office@axiomchurchaz.com
As a doting mother, I take great pride in the details of my children's lives. My keen eye for detail and precision makes me a force to be reckoned with, always ensuring that everything is beautifully executed. A true cheerleader at heart, I believe in uplifting those around me and spreading positivity wherever I go. And above all, my devotion to the Lord is unwavering - I am constantly seeking to deepen my relationship with Him and share His love with those in my orbit. To me, life is truly a luxury and I aim to live it to the fullest, grateful for every moment and every blessing that comes my way.
Bethann Meza
Children’s Pastor - bethann@axiomchurchaz.com
As a passionate Pastor I am devoted to delivering spiritual enrichment to young minds, I strive to create an inspiring and inclusive environment for all. When I'm not guiding children towards their spiritual development, you can find me capturing the beauty of the world through my lens as a Photographer. As a dedicated mother to three and wife to Ernesto Meza, I believe in leading by example and instilling values that will shape the future. My heart is that each child will experience Jesus through community, and find the freedom to explore friendship with Jesus. Ultimately, I hope to inspire and empower our Axiom children to live a life full of purpose and passion with God.

Connections Pastor - anders@axiomchurchaz.com
I love helping people make meaningful connections so that they can build a strong and supportive community here at Axiom.
Wyatt Hostetler
Youth Director - wyatt@axiomchurchaz.com
I moved from Eastern Oregon in 2019, to Arizona. I met my wife at Axiom who had our first child, Myla Jo, in June 2024. A huge part of my faith story is meeting Jesus in Junior High through the Christ-likeness of my youth pastor. I aspire to steward Jesus in the same ways and find joy in helping students discover Jesus within them.
