Jeff brings a unique gift-mix, experience and abilities as Indiana Ministries State Pastor. After completing a BA in religious studies at Anderson University, he earned an MBA in finance from the Fox School of Business at Temple University.

He served as senior pastor in Pennsylvania and Washington. Before arriving at Indiana Ministries, he was the senior associate pastor at Madison Park Church. Jeff served as State Pastor for Church Health for twelve years focusing on church revitalization. He has been State Pastor since March 2023. Jeff has a passion for the local church and a desire to empower congregations to pursue their mission of making more and better disciples that are transforming their communities for Christ.
Jeff met his wife Carla while they were students at Anderson University. They have been married for 41 years. They have two adult children, Joe and Kelley, along with a granddaughter and three grandsons. Jeff is a fan of the Steelers and Penguins; check out his office if you have any doubts. He also loves food and fitness, in that order.

Mickey stepped into his call to ministry after an 18-year career in education as a teacher and coach. He loves to witness the transformational power of the Gospel in the lives of individuals. He has a passion for disciple-making and helping to equip pastors, leaders, and the church to not only deepen their walk with Jesus but to become disciple makers that have Kingdom impact in their communities.
Mickey met his wife, Amanda, on a blind date and they have been married for 21 years. In 2020, they were blessed with an addition to their family through the journey of adoption. Noah is almost 3 and one of the greatest joys of their life! They love to travel to new vacation destinations, being out in nature, and spending time with family.
