  • Lead Pastor:  Aaron Peternel (seen with wife Sarah)

    Aaron and Sarah Peternel came to us from Pittsburgh, PA, in August of 2016. PA (as we call him) is our primary teacher and vision caster. This man lives to disciple. He often tells the church his goal is for them to leave, remarking, "I never thought of it like that before."

    He is an avid football Fan and will always bleed the 'Black and Gold' of the Pittsburgh Steelers. You'll find Sarah has a very artistic side that shows up when she decorates. She's a Kentucky country girl who loves that she can say 'Onry' again. This is a very musical family that enjoys singing together. PA and Sarah have been married for 28 years and have 3 children (Kayla, Dylan, and Jordan). PA writes often on his facebook page.

  • Church Secretary: Jamie Lowe (seen with husband Richard)

    Jamie has been in the church for several years but accepted the newly created role of Administrative Assistant in 2015. If you can hold it in your hand, and it came from the church, it probably has Jamie's fingerprints on it. She and her husband, Richard, have been married for 21 years. They have 2 children (Zachrey and Ethan).
