Meet the Team

After visiting the Los Angeles Dream Center in 2002, Pastor Paul began to gain a vision for benevolent ministry. As youth pastor of Park West Church, he began using teenagers to serve widows and single parents in the church. His heart to serve the poor and needy only continued to grow, but it would take more than a decade to see his dreams come to pass with the launch of the Knoxville Dream Center in August of 2014.
 
In 2015, Pastor Paul became Campus Pastor at Park West Church Dutch Valley.
Located just next door to the Knoxville Dream Center, the relationship between the two present untold opportunities for building the Kingdom of God here in Knoxville! Pastor Paul is married to his wife Charity, and has four children; Olivia, Ava, Ezra, and Kai.  

Ross’s earliest memories of Jesus being “fleshed out” were of his parents taking battered women and children into their home.  Since then, his heart has always been for the broken and hurting in society.  
 
Ross got his start in ministry as a youth pastor at Trinity Community Church, and after a brief stint in the private sector, the "can't miss" opportunity came to work at the Knoxville Dream Center!  God's heart is close to those who are broken and hurting, and that's where Ross wants to be. He is married to his awesome wife, Stephanie, and has three boys; Wesley, Sam, and Lake. 

Tommy has been a long-term volunteer with our Under the Bridge outreach for 30 years, but now has moved into our Teams Coordinator position!  His heart for the hurting and broken is contagious and loves to pass that along to visiting mission teams and volunteer groups.  You will find Tommy and his wife Kim serving Under the Bridge every Wednesday.   

Our Administrative Assistant, Charity Harris, joyfully assists the executive team and the Knoxville community with our motto: We Get to Serve! Charity is the wife of our founder, Paul Harris. They have four amazing children, an awesome son-in-law, and are expecting their first grandchild! Charity and her family also serve in a pastoral role at Park West Church. In her free-time she enjoys bible studies, journaling, and fitness. Being an eye-witness from the humble beginnings of the Knoxville Dream Center has her in awe of all that God has accomplished through the amazing team at the Knoxville Dream Center and looking forward to all that is still to come. Charity’s priority in life is to simply fulfill her ministry that God has entrusted to her according to 2 Timothy 4:5 “But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you.” 

Shelley Ashe-Haun is the wife of her best friend, Derrick Haun. They have four amazing children; a grandson and soon a granddaughter. As a family, they attend Park West Church where she serves greeting families and as a women's discipleship teacher alongside Charity Harris; her ministry partner in Commissioned Discipleship classes. She has a huge heart for discipleship within the community and church, leading and teaching others how to serve in biblical discipleship. She is an author of two books, He Met Us at the Well and Sweet Incense of Worship, The Aroma of Our Lives. She is currently in Seminary to receive her graduate degree in Christian Ministries. With an evangelistic nature, she continues to testify to the resurrection power of Christ, His provision, and His desire to meet His children wherever they are, drawing us unto Himself. 2 Corinthians 2:14-15 that says, "But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing." She loves ministering to and serving those in need by helping to fill their tangible needs. She is both honored and blessed to serve the community of Knoxville alongside Knoxville Dream Center ministering to those in need.
