 Eric arrived here in 1979 straight out of seminary.  He came from the suburbs of Chicago to the Wild, Wild, West and he doesn’t want to go back.  Eric and his wife Barb have 3 sons – Mike, Tom and Kevin.  They have entered the empty nest stage.

After many years volunteering as the church treasurer, Kim became our secretary in 1999 and then our Administrator in 2007.  Kim still pays the bills, but also patiently makes everybody else look good.  Kim is married to John (a real life cowboy) and has 2 grown children – Meghan and J.C.
