Spread His Word

We believe that God's love is worldwide and that is why we are committed to taking the gospel to the farthest and most unreached places in the world. 

 Our ministers are the leadership and guidance for our entire congregation. They keep us focused on goals and help us grow by exploring the Word of God.

PJ, as he is affectionately called, is the heart and soul of WHCC. Originally from Illinois, he graduated from Lincoln Christian University. He has a son, a daughter and three grandchildren, all of whom are in God's specialized ministry. His wife, Sharon, attends church weekly to hear God's message. When he speaks you can actually feel his words and his passion for what he is teaching. He has a wonderful sense of humor, is very personable and makes sure to shake everyone's hand every day. He is always there when he is needed, always smiles and truly cares about the people that attend the church. He is the most loving, compassionate, heartfelt person and the minute you meet him you know you are home.

 Shari is originally from Illinois and graduated with a B.A. in Church and Family Life from Lincoln Christian University. Her husband, Marc, is a strong support and loves being busy behind the scenes to "make the magic happen". They have a son who is married and two grandsons that they love dearly! Ms. Shari loves her giraffes! Just check out her office sometime.

Shari's message to all: 

"Each person is an amazing creation in the image of God and He knew that His world needed YOU! Think on this and believe it! 

Because of Him, 

Shari
