Staff

The church is led by a dedicated group of professionals and a talented group of lay leaders.

The church is currently without a pastor, but has started the search for a new person to fill that position. In the interim, the pulpit is being filled by people form the church as well as guests. The other functions of a pastor, such as visitation, are being handled by trained lay people. The administrative part of the church is being undertaken by the Church Moderator, who is currently Rokko Jans.  His contact information is in the staff article that pertains to his being the Music Coordinator. All other questions should be directed to Jessica at the church office. The past sermons by Toby as well as the current sermons are still available on the Sermon portion of the web site.
