Pastors

Lead Pastor

Pastor Ken came to Bucks Church in December of 1998. Back then, it was comprised of only a few families that met in an old barn converted to a community center. Since that time, we have made great strides in defining our purpose as a church and pursuing that purpose to strategically reach our community with the Gospel. Pastor Ken’s gifts and ministry experience are diverse and have enabled Bucks to grow and become an established, thriving ministry in our community.


Pastor of Community Life and Care

With an extensive background in both church ministry and executive business management, Pastor Rich has a unique set of gifts and experience which enable him to lead our Community Life and Care ministries. His role includes getting to know and understand the congregation along with guiding them to spiritual maturity. As such, he provides oversight, development, and leadership to various ongoing small groups. This includes leading the Young Adults ministry with his wife, Val. Additionally, he provides biblical guidance and pastoral care to the congregation as needs arise.
