Recently, he and Daniel have become fire chaplains for the High Ridge Fire Department. He and his wife, Nora, have been in ministry since they were kids, really. Their family is very close and their four granddaughters fill up all their extra time. If he has any free time, Pastor Dan likes making friends at Lowe's. It is his safe place. Contrary to this goofy photo, he does not play the bass.
Pastor Jesse rejoined the team in June of 2021 after helping a church through an interim period when they did not have a pastor. Pastor Jesse excels at building and implementing programs. He oversees the discipleship programs and small groups of the church. Jesse is passionate about the Lord and the Bible and wants other people to love Scripture as much as he does. He and his wife, Rebekah, have been married since May 2013. They have two beautiful daughters, Nova and Thea. They also have a dog, Nicodemus. Pastor Jessse strikes a great balance of researcher and doer. He is not afraid to ask the tough questions and is always willing to jump in to help find the answers. Jesse is also passionate about fitness and intermittent fasting. If you ever meet Pastor Jesse, you will want to remember him because he will call you out the next time if you don't.
Pastor Daniel was brought on part-time in 2010. He has continuously added more and more to his role. He started as worship leader and has added media, youth, and preaching team to his job description. Pastor Daniel is really good at dreaming, sermon preparation, and troubleshooting. He and his wife, Rachel, have three kids, Rosie, Florence, and Enoch. They also have a dog named Mercy. Pastor Daniel is a gamer, although he typically only plays a couple games. He really is a jack of all trades, except for tradecrafts. Give him a musical instrument or an electronic device and he will figure it out. Give him a hammer and you'll quickly find out why Rachel is the handyman of the house.
