Brett and his wife Marnie joined Our Saviour’s in 2002.  Marnie and Brett have been married for 17 years and have three amazing and beautiful girls who love the youth programs here at Our Saviour’s. Their kids have been very involved in the youth side while Marnie is a youth mentor for Ignition. In return, they get the pleasure of spending a lot of time at events with the youth. Over the last 15 years Brett’s been involved in the planning of Celebration Campus, Co-Leading Our Saviour’s Golf Outing, Feed My Starving Children, Call Committee, Church Council Nominating Committee, New Member Family Partnership, as well as serving on Sundays with Communion/Hospitality.  All of these experiences have deepened their faith and created some great friendships in our church. His hope for Our Saviour’s is that we continue to deepen the faith jorney for our members and to help welcome new members into this great community.

My husband Keith and I were college students at North Central College when Keith began attending services at Our Saviour’s. When Keith and I got engaged in 1996, we decided to be married at Our Saviour’s in 1997. OSLC had become our new church home.

Over the years, I have mainly been involved with music ministries, Sanctuary Choir, family pizza nights and children’s choirs. But over the past few years, I have taken on new challenges with the Mission Committee, as current treasurer and as a member of the current call committee for our Faith Formation Associate Pastor position. These committees have let me gain further insight into how church operations work as well as allow me to put my talents to work and serve Our Saviour’s in other means.

Rebecca and her family have been members of Our Saviour's since 2010 when their younger daughter was entering Surge. She has been singing with sanctuary choir ever since and has been involved with C.A.R.E. Moms, the host team, Eagle's Wings, Buds Suds & Grub, the library, garage sale, Surge and Ignition over the years. Rebecca is looking forward to helping advance the missions that Our Saviour's passionately supports and engaging more people in Knowing Jesus and Making Jesus Known.
