Our Elders

We believe Scripture shows the church is to be governed by a plurality of Holy Spirit-appointed, Biblically qualified men, who desire to serve by leading the church, shepherding the church body, and teaching the whole counsel of God’s Word.  Elders are Holy Spirit-appointed, Biblically qualified men, who lead the church.

  • Shane Lester - lead pastor

    Shane grew up in a small coal-mining town in Southern West Virginia, and Haley in a small farming community in Kansas. They first met while attending college at Oklahoma Baptist University, but didn’t really get to know one another until a few years later through AOL instant messenger (online dating before there was online dating). They were married on September 30, 2006, and have four crazy boys; Noah, Chase, Sawyer, and Easton. Shane enjoys power-lifting, fishing, hunting, and all things Cincinnati Reds baseball. Haley enjoys spending time with family, writing, helping at the boys’ school, and helping Shane in all things church-related. Special scriptures to them are Galatians 2:20 and Psalm 51:1-19.

  • Darin McLaughlin

    Darin was born in Omaha but grew up in northeast Ohio. His family moved back to Nebraska where he graduated from Papillion-LaVista High School. Sherry was raised in Mondamin Iowa and graduated from Mondamin High School. Darin and Sherry met while working in a restaurant together and were married May 6, 1990. They promptly moved to California and lived there for eight years. Darin and Sherry raised their children Anthony and Lucy in Nebraska and now have eight grandchildren. Special scriptures include Romans 12:1-2 and 15:13.

  • CJ Van Moorleghem

    CJ and Rebecca are both born and raised Nebraskans. CJ is native to Omaha, while Rebecca has called quite a few different towns “home” during her childhood. God crossed CJ’s and Rebecca’s paths during their time attending Grace University. Although there was mutual interest when they met, they did not begin dating until a few years later, after Rebecca had begun teaching overseas in Asia. They dated long-distance for a year and were engaged shortly after Rebecca moved back to the states. They have four hilarious kids, Clement, Josephine, Moriah and Junia. When they are not chasing around their little ones, CJ and Rebecca both love drinking good coffee, traveling, hiking, Husker football, listening to podcasts, and home improvement projects. Special scriptures to them are Philippians 3 and Ephesians 2.


Our Deacons

We believe Scripture shows deacons to be faithful men and women of exemplary character who serve under the authority of the elders. In many ways they are model servants, ministering to the church in such a way as to enable the elders to focus on prayer and the ministry of the Word.
