John and Deb Westphal

Our marriage and ministry are inseparable. We do life together, and we serve the Lord together. Christ is the cornerstone of our marriage, our family, and our ministry. While we are far from perfect, our desire is to faithfully represent Christ and His Church by walking in humility, unity, and submission to God's Word.

Our greatest desire reflects the heart of God described in 1 Timothy 2:3–6—that all people would be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth through Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and mankind. It is our prayer that every person would experience the forgiveness, hope, and joy found in surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ.

God has called us to serve as a ministry team, each fulfilling distinct yet complementary roles. As Scripture teaches, God created Eve as a suitable helper for Adam (Genesis 2:18), and together, male and female bear His image (Genesis 1:27). In the same way, John serves as the Lead Pastor, providing spiritual leadership, preaching, vision, and shepherding under Christ's authority. Deb serves alongside him as Co-Pastor, using her gifts to disciple, teach, encourage, provide pastoral care, and strengthen the ministries of the church while faithfully supporting the biblical leadership structure established by God. Together, we seek to use our God-given strengths to build up the body of Christ and advance His Kingdom, with Christ as the Head of the Church.

In our personal lives, we have been blessed with 30 years of marriage and two wonderful children, Ethan and Jacqualyn. We consider it a privilege to serve the Lord together and to invest in the lives of others for His glory.
