Pastor "I am definitely a morning person with 5:00 a.m. being my favorite time of the day. My favorite foods are prime rib and black raspberry pie! Two of my favorite movies are "Life is Beautiful" and "The Piano Lesson." I am a channel surfer on my car radio and will listen to WHO talk radio, oldies rock and roll, pop and contemporary Christian, almost anything, but definitely NO country. I would rate my number one achievement as convincing Janice to become my wife; some lesser achievements include skydiving, triathlons, a couple of marathons and my ordination. I love flying stunt kites on a breezy afternoon with my family." Pastor Dana Jurgens |

KNC Secretary "I love spending time with my family, playing games, laughing, and of course, eating. I have sat under the teaching and preaching of my husband for years. I have by far learned more and have been more challenged by his teaching than anyone else. He makes me want to be the best me I can be. My favorite foods are chocolate and pasta, and not necessarily in that order. A favorite book is "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. I am currently working with God and waiting upon Him to give me direction about a new role I may take on in life, and my favorite place to pray is my couch with my prayer journal." Janice Jurgens |

NYI
President "My very first job was working as a gas station attendant. I now work as a lineman. I love the early morning, working on cars, playing pool, riding motorcycles, and playing both the drums and guitar. I'm in ministry today to share the gifts that God has given to me, and I especially love working with the teens. I am currently working with God on patience. My favorite place to converse with God is either in bed or in my car on my way to work." Greg Panther |
| No Picture Available | Trustees "My favorite thing to do is to spend time with my family on the farm. My hobby is flying airplanes. I think my most noteworthy achievement is having five great kids that love the Lord, and my favorite place to pray is in my tractor." Keith Phillips |

Sunday
School "I am a morning person, sometimes known to get up when most people still think it is the middle of the night. I have had many hobbies throughout my life, but right now, I LOVE to scrapbook. I listen to "Gospel" music mostly, but will listen to the "oldies." I am in the Sunday School ministry because it is where you learn about Jesus and have the opportunity to grow spiritually. My most overused phrase is 'been there done that.' My favorite place to pray is at my bed in the mornings when I am alone with God." Dianna Curl |

Men's
Ministry "My favorite pastime is boating, and my favorite childhood memory is a trip to Yellowstone National Park. A phrase that I tend to overuse is 'to tell you the truth.' I am currently working with God on keeping my cool, and my favorite place to pray is in front of the computer at work." Rowdy Bergman |

Women's
Ministry "I have set a goal this year to learn to play the piano. I love the outdoors and any activity that keeps me in the fresh air. I love to mow, garden, work in my flowers, ride bikes, swim, and take long walks where I can talk to God. For fun, I love to fly with my husband, in a plane of course. My favorite foods are anything Mexican (chips and salsa are a part of my daily diet), double stuffed Oreos and diet Dr. Pepper. An issue that I am currently working on with God is to be less self-centered." Connie Phillips |

Children's
Ministry "I love the water and enjoy swimming and boating- mostly just laying on a float and floating around the pool or lake...soaking in the sun. My best childhood memory is Dad's caramel corn and getting to sample the caramel to see if it had cooked enough. I am definitely a night owl and don't care at all for the early morning. My favorite foods are mashed potatoes, pork chops, and milk gravy. My favorite author is Janette Oake, and my favorite type of music is Christian. I am in ministry today because I want to do all I can do for the Lord, and I just love working with children; it is so rewarding. My favorite place to pray is the alter." Karen Szawiel |
 |
Care-a-Lots/NMI/Stewards "My favorite thing to do is read, and I read a lot in the night, which works well for me since I am a night owl. I love anything chocolate, and my hobby is genealogy research. My favorite movie is "Cheaper by the Dozen." I am in ministry today because I like to help people, and my favorite place to pray is my chair." Fran Sprunger |

Music
Ministry - Praise and Worship "My first job was babysitting for two boys full-time through the summer when I was 13 years old. I am now a high school teacher and my students would probably say that I tend to overuse the phrase 'You tell me.' My most noted achievement is that I was the first to graduate from college and earn a Master's Degree in my family. I have always had a love for music and am involved in the music ministry because I believe that is where God wishes me to use the gifts he has given me. My favorite pastimes include playing the piano, quilting, and playing with my two granddaughters. I am currently working with God on giving Him all of me, and my favorite place to pray is in my bed in the quiet of the night." Sherry Evans |

Pioneer Clubs Supervisor "I am neither a morning person nor a night owl. I like to go to bed at 9:00 and sleep until 8:00. My favorite food is anything chocolate. I hope to write a Christian children's book someday. I love to spend time boating and soaking up the sun with my husband and children. I am in ministry today because I believe God has called me to help in the growth of the church. Kids and their well-being are important to me. I am currently working with God on more dedicated time to scheduled prayer." Cynthia Bergman |
