Our Teams
The Phoenix Underground is an organic, decentralized network of churches
…and an organized, centralized Hub of teams committed to equipping ordinary people and churches throughout our city and beyond. We believe that all followers of Jesus are called to go and make disciples. We want to be a sending and equipping agency for ordinary people to be on mission. These equipping teams are ready and eager to help you walk in the mission Jesus has created you for.
Lissa Hinman
Personal Calling and Care Team
We believe that every person is created with a unique purpose. Calling within the body of Christ is not limited to a few paid professionals. We have all been called and sent. Lissa Hinman leads the Personal Calling and Care team that helps ordinary people understand how they were created, who they have been sent to and how to overcome their enemy. This team empowers mission catalysts to gain clarity on their personal calling as well as consider personal wellbeing in mind, body and soul as they pursue it.

Family and Children Team
The Family and Children Team works with the network of churches to help create pathways for simple, holistic disciple-making within families. We believe disciple-making happens best within a family structure, spiritual or biological. Our heart is to equip extended spiritual families by creating environments where they can encounter, engage and learn the rhythms and ways of Jesus. This is not a typical children’s ministry program. We believe children have a significant role to play in the Kingdom of God and it is our heart to raise the next generation to know Jesus, love Jesus, walk in His ways and to take Jesus to our neighbors, friends, and people in our community.
