Joshua Liggins
Leadership Team, Teaching Pastor
Josh still needs to write his bio for the website so this is what Noah says about him: He is a super rad dude. He will kick your butt in basketball, even for an old guy. His favorite movie is Space Jam. He and his wife Christy have an incredible family with three beautiful children. He graduated from Cornerstone University, where Noah was his R.A. and the best R.A. Josh ever had. Josh has been a youth pastor, a high school teacher, a pro basketball player overseas, and now works for Inspire
Brands, making the world a sweeter place by starting Dunkin' franchises all over the country. Josh will be your favorite person you meet if you visit Mosaic. Someday, he will email Noah his bio and we
will replace this one...

LaRonda Hanson
Worship Leader
LaRonda began singing in the church choir at Queen Esther Baptist Church in Muskegon at the age of 7. She soon realized that God had anointed her to sing praises unto the Lord, and worship became an integral part of her existence. LaRonda was one of the founding members of Muskegon’s “Young Ambassadors For Christ,”. She has also been a member of many praise teams and choirs including: The Great Lakes Michigan Chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America, the Holy Trinity COGIC praise team, a select group that traveled with the Jurisdictional Bishop, singing around the country for many years. She is a member of the community choir “Brandon Davis & Victory in Praise” that recorded their first album in 2016, and most recently, the Kingdom Embassy Praise Team (KEPT). When LaRonda isn’t singing, she enjoys crafting, cooking/baking, fishing, gardening, spending time at the beach, shopping, and traveling with her two children.
Lucero Solis
Leadership Team
Lucero graduated from Cornerstone University in 2019 and teaches Math and Science at Potter’s House High School. Growing up as a pastor’s kid in Mexico, she witnessed firsthand the impact that intentional relationships in the church can have in the greater community of a city. Since moving to the United States at the age of 14, Lucero has come to see a need for multi-ethnic church communities that focus on racial reconciliation and seek transformation. Over the last five years, she has had the opportunity to serve as a youth group leader and small group leader. She has also loved building relationships with students and adults that have different experiences and to see the ways that God is molding each of us to build His kingdom here on earth.
