Travis Roberts
Lead Minister
I have served as Lead Minister at Northwest since October 2023. I married my wife, Amanda, in 2013, and we have two girls, Ingrid and Poppy. After growing up in Dallas we lived in the Denver area for 9 years - but finally we made our way back to Texas! I am passionate about preaching, teaching, and helping to equip others for a life of following Jesus. I enjoy playing disc golf and board games, watching movies, reading, and getting to know new people. I would love to grab coffee or a meal with you sometime!
Tamara Conley
Office Manager/ Social Media Coordinator
I'm a nature lover who enjoys spending time outdoors, whether it's hiking a beautiful trail or just soaking in some fresh air. I have two cats who are basically my babies, and they keep life interesting (and cozy). I started working here at the end of March 2025, and I love it! I've lived in a variety of places including Indiana, Colorado, and Michigan, which has given me a deep appreciation for different environments and communities. I bring experience in office management, marketing, and event coordination, and I'm excited to apply those skills here. I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone.
Stacey Sellards
Children's Minister
I am thrilled to serve as the Children's Minister. I am passionate about creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where children can learn about Jesus and grow in their faith. I want to build relationships with children and their families, and I am dedicated to helping them discover the joy of Jesus. My background includes a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Western Governors University and a master's in Early Childhood Education and Leadership from the University of Arizona. I grew up in San Antonio and have attended Northwest since I was 3 years old. I have taught in daycare, preschool and elementary school. I have also been an Assistant Director at a private daycare and a part time Mother's Day out program. I am excited about working alongside families and children, helping them grow in their faith.

Youth Ministers
We met at UTSA when we were Resident Assistants and got married in 2023. We began leading the youth group at Northwest the Fall of 2025. It has been a blessing, and we learn as much from the youth as they learn from us. We are passionate about our youth forming their own relationships with Jesus, regardless of the cost. We encourage them to read the Bible for themselves and establish their own personal relationship with Jesus. Our end goal is when the youth leave the group after high school, they want to continue to grow in deeper intimacy with Jesus Christ.

Jeff Swain
Watch Team Manager
I come from a legacy of faith and was fortunate to grow up in the C of C traditions. My Wife, Laura and sons, Max and Ty have been members for more than 10 years and value the way the church has grown them in their faith. I am an avid outdoorsman enjoying both hunting and fishing. I also enjoy shaping Cowboy hats. I have worked at the Toyota Manufacturing plant since 2006. I am intent on the body feeling safe and well secured as they worship and fellowship.

James Schraml
Watch Team Staff
I have been a member of NorthWest Church of Christ for 4 years along with my wife of 8 years, Nellie, and our amazing sons who we adopted in 2022. They are going up to be great men of God. Currently, I am a self-employed contractor, but I have had several other careers in my life. My faith leads me in everything that I do. I enjoy taking road trips on my motorcycle, and take any opportunity I can to spend time with my family.
