My wife, Wendy, and I, met at the Ohio State University. We have been married for 5 years and have three wonderful children (Bethany, Josiah, and Jacob).

I grew up in the Mansfield/Shelby area and have attended this church for most of my life. I first felt my call to ministry in high school but struggled as my heart was not ready at the time. I attended the Ohio State University for 3 years before getting married and starting my family. While at OSU, I led a Campus Crusade for Christ Bible study once a week on campus.  God continued to lay his call upon my heart and, in 2006, I stepped into the youth position here. I have been serving part-time with our youth for the past 5 years.  Through my time working with the teens, God has reaffirmed my call to full time ministry.  I am currently attending Crown College to finish my bachelor's degree in Christian Ministry. I will graduate in the spring of 2012.

Jean Viers (Secretary)

As a semi-retired nurse, I needed a job to keep me busy and the church needed someone to handle the calls and packages coming in for the Mali Project. I was a good fit for that need as I am part of the Mali Project team and my nursing experience helps with answering the many questions that come in. Along with the Mali Project I handle the weekly bulletin and other information boards around the church.
My husband, Mike, and I spend our spare time with our two children and their families and spoiling our 5 grandchildren.
