Meet our Leadership & Staff
Duncan & Kate Smith
Senior Leaders
Duncan and Kate Smith are revivalists who carry the fire of God's love and power all over the world. Together, they serve as the Presidents of Catch The Fire World ↗, a global network of revival churches, missions, and ministries, birthed out of the Toronto Revival ↗. They are the Senior Leaders of Catch The Fire Church in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, a vibrant, growing church full of the love and presence of God.
They have a passion to plant and cultivate supernatural churches, ministries, and missions in multiple expressions and multiple generations. Wherever they go, the Holy Spirit does extraordinary miracles, as the love of the Father and the grace of Jesus are poured out to the world.
Aaron & Jess Ninaber
Lead Pastors
For over 10 years, Pastors Aaron and Jess Ninaber have served in full-time pastoral ministry at Catch The Fire, first as youth and worship pastors and now, as Lead Pastors. Their hearts have a passionate focus on the presence of God and seeing people encounter His transforming presence. Aaron trained at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in California before being called to serve in Raleigh, NC, where He discovered His calling to The Church and pastoring. Jess attended the Harvest School with Iris Global, where she was burdened for the mission field before attending the University of North Carolina. It was here that God called her into “the mission field of the West” and gave her a heart for the local church and the lost right here in our city.
With conviction to share the Gospel and the Kingdom of God, they have laid down their lives to pastoring and discipling a generation of people on fire for God. Aaron and Jess are happily married with four children, Jude, Zoe, Selah, and Valor.
