About Us

We believe Christ commands all believers to be baptized in water and repent of their sins. We believe in the filling of the Holy Spirit and the expression of all the gifts of the Spirit being for today. We believe in the Eternal Judgment and the bodily return of Jesus Christ. We believe the true mark of a believer is a transformed life growing in faith, hope, obedience to Christ, and love.

We Believe

We believe God is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus is God. The Bible is the Word of God. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived, died, and was buried, rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. The good news is that a person can receive eternal life being born again through faith in Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

I grew up in a military family and lived in many places around the country during my lifetime. Although I grew up in church, I never actually had a relationship with God. At age 17 I encountered Jesus and His love for the first time. What a life altering experience that was for me!!! I was instantly changed and the Lord set me on a path to bring others into the same kind of life-changing encounter with God that I had experienced. One of my greatest passions is to see the Kingdom of God transform whole cities and regions through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is my joy to give the rest of my life to seeing this accomplished.

In September of 1995 I started attending Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri where I met my amazing wife, Autumn. Autumn and I graduated in 1999 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biblical Studies. From there we served as Youth Pastor at High Praise Church in Bolivar, MO for approximately 3 years. In 2001, we moved to Pierre, South Dakota as part of a team that started River Center Church. I served as an Associate Pastor there for 3 years. It was during this time in my life that the Lord blessed Autumn and I with our 2 beautiful children Malachi and Abigail. In 2005 River Center Church helped send us out to start James River Church in Huron, SD. I love Huron and I feel so privileged to serve the people of this community with the Word of God.

I am a South Dakotan through and through. I was born and raised on a farm in Midland, SD. I was blessed with an amazing Christian home and parents that taught me from my childhood what it meant to love and serve Jesus. God has blessed my life to be a beautiful journey of knowing Him more and more. Growing up in SD, I NEVER even imagined I would ever live here as an adult. In fact, as a young person I would dream of living in warmer climates and different scenery. But at the same time I also have beautiful memories, from as young as 12 years old, of kneeling before the Lord in prayer with tears streaming down my face praying for Revival for SD. It was in those times of prayer that the Lord put a vision and love in my heart for the people of SD that far exceeds my desire to live in a warmer climate.

I met my beloved husband, Jeff, while attending Central Bible College, in Springfield, MO. We married 9 months later on August 3rd, 1996. Aside from loving Jesus, getting married to Jeff was the best decision I have ever made! We LOVE marriage and are passionate about seeing others succeed in their marriages also. Jeff and I graduated from college in 1999. We were planted in a great church during our first 4 years of marriage in Missouri. Together we were Youth Pastors and I was the Children’s Pastor there. Then in 2001 we felt the Lord calling us home to SD. We moved with a team of people and helped plant River Center Church in Pierre SD. While in Pierre, the Lord blessed us with our children Malachi and Abigail. Oh, how I LOVE being a mommy!! My family is pure joy! Then in 2005 River Center Church helped send us out to start James River Church in Huron, SD. What a blessing it has been to serve the community of Huron. I love our city and I am committed to seeing the Kingdom of God come to earth (Huron) as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:10)!
