Corey and Danielle Paxton recently moved to Raleigh, North Carolina with their two girls, Hannah and Shiloah. They are passionate about seeing churches become agents of healing and transformation across spiritual, economic, and cultural boundaries in the cities of the United States. They joined staff with CRM's Urban Mosaic to pioneer a multi-cultural leadership community that empowers missional leaders for the future of the church in the United States. After her day job as a stay-at-home mom is done, Danielle is finishing her certification as a Professional Life Coach, co-authoring her first book (a companion to Not For Sale by David Batstone), and leading an abolitionist group called Jubilee that works to bring justice and freedom to victims of human trafficking. Corey is finishing his Masters in Cross-Cultural Studies at Fuller Seminary, while implementing leadership development with a church plant for the post-modern generation.
