Our Leadership

Our Head

We absolutely, without reservation, affirm that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the head of our church. (Philippians 2:9-11, Matthew 28:18-20, Ephesians 1:22-23, Colossians 1:13-20).

Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities⁠—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. (Colossians 1:15-20)

We truly hope that you know Him personally!

Our Pastor-Elders

The primary focus of our Pastors (frequently referred to as elders in the New Testament) is to provide spiritual oversight, direction, and care for our body. (1 Peter 5:1-3, Acts 20:28-32, 1 Timothy 3:1-7)

Jeff Worden II was called as our pastor in April of 2021. Jeff has been an integral part of our church family for many years, and was previously called as an elder in 2012. He and his wife Barb have been faithfully involved with youth and other ministries since 2008. Jeff has been involved with our Word of Life program, preaching and teaching ministries, special events like Slopstacle, camps, and Living Nativities.

Rich Aspach has been a pastor with us for many years. His ministries have been focused on Education and Children’s Ministries, and adult fellowship activities. Rich is an ordained minister, whose love of Christ is evident when you see him running around an AWANA ring playing as he teaches young children about the Gospel of Christ. When you visit, you’re nearly certain to not likely to mistake Rich and Doris’s smiling faces!

Our Deacons

Our Deacons, in accordance with Acts 6:1-6 and 1 Timothy 3:8-13, are servants of the Church, tasked with assisting our pastors in caring for this Body and its needs.

Brian Vining has served as a deacon of this church for many years, and serving as a gifted administrator for this body.

Zach Boldt has served for a couple of years now in many areas of ministry here in this body, especially in our adult Christian Life Hour and online ministries.

Our Operating Board

Our Operating Board conducts all of the business of the church aside from those responsibilities handled by our pastors and deacons, who are also a part of this board. Members of this board include Bob Dirmeyer, Fred Heath, Chuck Hershberger, and Wendell Russell.
