Gary and Kris Wissel
Senior Pastor
Gary & Kris Wissel have served as our pastor and his wife since the church's official formation on January 2nd, 2005. From 1996-2003 Gary and Kris were missionaries to the Quichua people in Ecuador, South America. Gary was an elder at Faith Bible Church in Lincoln NE from 2000 until 2005 and served on staff at Faith after returning from the mission field in 2003. He and Kris have 3 children and a number of grandchildren.
Gary was born and raised in Lincoln, NE. He was blessed received Christ as his personal savior when he was 7 years old. He was involved in his home church there and eventually ended up graduating from Grace College of the Bible. He and Kris were heavily involved at Evangelical Bible Church in Omaha from college until they left for the mission field in 1996.
Kris was born in Beloit, KS and grew up in Hutchinson. She was also saved at a young age, and due to her interests in music ended up going to Grace College of The Bible where she was a year ahead of Gary. They met at chapel the first day of the 1982-83 school year. Kris was the attendance checker for the row Gary sat in! They sat next to each other and began a friendship that culminated in their marriage on June 2nd, 1984. Their friendship continues to grow and deepen.
They can't wait to meet you and have you over for some homemade oatmeal pancakes.
