WELCOME!
This website is designed to allow prospective churches to get to know us, friends and family to keep in touch, and dedicated prayer supporters to follow along on our journey.
In this season of life we plan to serve churches through the Alliance Transitional Ministry Network. Thus, our ministry involvements will be short-term (3 to 12 months?). So, if you don't know us, here's the place to begin getting to know us. If you are an old friend - you still might learn something or can reconnect via the Contact page. PLEASE, if you are willing to keep in touch and especially if you are willing to pray for us and our future ministries, sign up for our newsletters. Click Here!

A Little About Us.Gary grew up in the mid-west and after graduating High School ventured to Wisconsin for a couple of years where he attended Madison Area Technical College. He then enlisted and served in the Air Force for 5 years where he met and married Kim. Next, both Gary and Kim attended and graduated from Fort Wayne Bible College. Later he earned a Master’s Degree from Simpson University. Gary has been a pastor in the Christian & Missionary Alliance since 1988.

Kim also grew up in the Midwest and joined the Air Force right after High School. She met Gary while participating in the Outdoor Adventure Program. This set the stage for their pursuit of many outdoor adventures over the years. As the mother of two, and now the grandmother of five Kim has primarily invested herself as a devoted wife supporting Gary, and pouring into her children and grandchildren. As a homemaker and dedicated volunteer both in the church and in the communities in which we have lived she always manages to keep busy. Her volunteering is as a 'behind the scenes' servant who enjoys many practical organizing endeavors.
Gary and Kim have been married for over 40 years. They have two grown children, Shannon, living in Bozeman, Montana, and Danae (along with her husband Jeff and five children) live in Minnesota. For fun, Kim and Gary enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities that include riding bikes, kayaking, camping, backpacking, hiking, cross-country skiing, and ice skating. Their favorite pastime at home, is reading.
