Lindsey Russell

Deacon

Rev. Lindsey serves in a ministry setting beyond the local church at the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank and joined Central in January of 2025. She and her husband Rob Russell are Northwest Arkansas natives and live in Springdale with their corgi-mix, Mirabelle. Her favorite thing about Central is the energy and welcoming spirit of the congregation and how they extend that hospitality beyond the walls of the church into the community. 

Rev. Lindsey, what is your favorite restaurant in Fayetteville?

My favorite Fayetteville restaurant since college has been the Petra Cafe. It's only open for lunch though!  

What is your favorite activity in NWA?

Northwest Arkansas is a beautiful place to explore. I love the downtown Farmers' Market, the incredible trails and opportunities to connect with nature and the great theater and music venues in the area. For a night on the town, you'll often find us at one of the fabulous restaurants near downtown and then at the Walton Arts Center for a musical or a night with SONA. 

What are you passionate about in your faith?

I am passionate about engaging and equipping our church members to put their faith into action by meeting the needs of others, whether that be through material needs, offering friendship, serving alongside others or giving generously to causes that allow people to experience the abundant life Christ wants for all of us!
