"I love the Church!", says David. Three long-term ministries in Illinois, Oklahoma, and 20 years at FCC, seem to give evidence to the exclamation. As Senior Minister, he is convinced of the unique power of Christ's church in a local community that helps individuals reach their full God-given potential!

He and his wife, Connie, grew up in the St. Louis, Missouri area where they met in high school youth group. He graduated from St. Louis Christian College before continuing seminary education at both Lincoln Christian College and Cincinnati Christian University. Dave and Connie are parents of two children and 5 exceptional grandchildren!

Born in Lincoln, Illinois, Dave dabbles in the life history of our 16th President. Dave's family shares five generations of fan frenzy for the St. Louis Cardinals. In recent years, the Hargraves have become amateur world travelers, going to see their daughter, son-in-law, and grandkids who served an international mission with Team Expansion.

Brian is one of those remarkably gifted persons who connects as a Minister to Students and just keeps impacting young lives. As he puts it, his twenty-three years in Student Ministery (17 at FCC!) have been filled with "lots of laughing, crying, teaching, listening, caring, working together, and of course, fun."

Brian grew up in a minister's home in a small town in Indiana. He loves his wife and ministry partner, Denise. They love their four children dearly.

He is a graduate of Mount St. Joseph College and Cincinnati Christian University. Brian is a collector of baseball stuff, enjoys woodworking and builing furniture out of recycled things. If you'd stop by the Schreiber home, you might find him building a roaring fire, outside or not.

Ever since Tammy and her family became members of FCC in 1986, she has had a creative and compelling impact upon our Children's Ministry to children and their families. While working for the Cincinnati Public Schools, she began as a volunteer leader in Children's music and education. Her passion for teaching kids about Christ, even more than the ABC's, led her first to join our staff part time and eventually full time as the Director of Children's Ministry.

Tammy and her husband, Stew are celebrating 31 years of marriage. They are parents to four wonderful children. Tammy can be found discovering wonderful treasures in local auctions. According to her, Tammy's favorite pastime is sitting on the front porch swing with a good book, better yet with a good friend, and we suspect with a good cup of coffee!

Mike is a graduate of Nebraska Christian College in church music. He began his ministry at FCC part time in 1999 and full time in 2001. Since then he has led FCC to a variety of beautiful and meaningful expressions of worship to God as the Minister of Worship and Arts.

Mike loves all things outdoors such as hiking, biking, fishing, boating, etc. He also enjoys all kinds of musical styles and enjoys art forms of all kinds. Next to his faith and family, Mike's deepest loyalty is to the great Nebraska Cornhuskers football team.

Mike and his wife, Holly, have two children. Mike is excited about the path the people at FCC have embarked on in following God's plan for our church family.
