rev. Dr. Jeremiah Gibbs
Pastor
Jeremiah came to serve as pastor in January 2023. After becoming a Christian in Marine Corps boot camp at 18 years old, Jeremiah was ordained in Assemblies of God. He earned a BA in theology from Eureka College and an M.T.S. and Ph.D in theology from Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary.
He has served in church ministry for over two decades, becoming United Methodist in 2016. He has written two books, on Christian apologetics and vocational discernment. Read more of his work on his website. He served as University Chaplain at the University of Indianapolis for 13 years and has served various churches in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana.
You will often hear him talking about the Camino de Santiago pilgrimages that he guides in Spain. He often takes church members with him on the Way!
You will often find him working on his Corvette, practicing mediocre guitar riffs, or yelling embarrassingly at his son’s basketball game. He also is going to tell you a story about his many hikes on Camino de Santiago and try to get you to join his next group trip.

Mat Griggs
Worship Director
Mat has a passion for helping others grow in God, serving the least of these, and connecting others to God through music.
Mat has been involved with worship in various capacities since he was a wee 16 year old lad, and has volunteered or served with youth ministry since he began college at Indiana Wesleyan University in 2010.
When Mat is not leading worship and playing music, you can usually find him working in his other calling as a therapist, eating spicy foods, or spending too much time on the computer. He also loves to engage in conversation, and he will do his best not to bore you with long-winded psychology or theology speeches or obscure references and cringy dad jokes!
