Our Pastor: Gene Hinrichsen
I grew up in rural upstate New York and went to the University of Valley Forge near Philadelphia, PA, where I met my wife Bonnie. We have two grown daughters and 7 grandchildren. I am a college football and basketball fanatic. Go Missouri tigers! I like campfires, traveling and reading. My favorite dessert is strawberry rhubarb pie and I enjoy good Italian food. I have pastored churches in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Nebraska and Missouri. My favorite place for a vacation is the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
