Rev. Beth Bowker - Executive Pastor

Pastor Beth was called into ministry as a teenager and, since then, has been serving God and the church in various ways. She is passionate about connecting with people, helping them understand God’s deep love for them, and seeing them walk fully in who God has created them to be. Helping to create spaces of hope and grace where everyone feels seen and can experience the love of God is important to her. Pastor Beth loves to read, go to concerts, and explore with her husband. She has been married to Brady since 2015, and they have 1 dog, Harper, who they love and spoil.

Rev. Charlotte More - Family Pastor

Pastor Charlotte was called to ministry at the age of 17. She found redemption, freedom, and healing through Jesus Christ in her own life and knew that God was calling her to help others find the same. She graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in 2009 and moved back to Pekin, IL to begin ministry in her home community. Pastor Charlotte began focusing her love and joy on youth and children since 2013 and today she is serving as Children's Pastor. Her desire is to see all people, young and aged, come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ that brings healing and freedom from the inside out.

Rev. Brady Bowker - Connection Pastor

Pastor Brady felt a call to ministry at the age of 18. During that same year, he found himself venturing to Bible college at Southwestern Assemblies of God University where he met his wife Beth. Brady and Beth got married in 2015. While serving and on staff in Oregon, Brady led in student ministry for over 5 years. Through his time serving in ministry, Brady developed a passion for helping youth discover the love of Christ for them. In his spare time, you can catch Pastor Brady listening to music, writing spoken word, exploring the outdoors, finding niche coffee shops, and walking his dog Harper and taking her to the dog park.
