Amber was born and raised right here in Gibbsville, WI. Other than moving away to explore the northland of Superior, WI for 5 years, she has lived in Sheboygan County her whole life. Her love for getting children excited about the Word of God was instilled in her heart while growing up and watching her dad teach Sunday School. Amber officially joined the staff in June of 2021 after volunteering for many years in the children's ministry. She married her wonderful husband, Chad, whom she met at Gibbsville church, and they have 3 kids (Adrianna, Makenna and Camden). When not hanging out with the kids at church, you can find her at the gymnastics gym, dance studio, or any sporting event that her children are in.
Kim was born in Oostburg, then traveled the world first with his parents who were missionaries, then during his time in the US Air Force. During one of his short stops back in Oostburg, he met and married his best friend Pam, who cured him of his wandering ways. He has two grown sons, and five lively grandchildren who are the apple of his eye. He has been on staff at Gibbsville since 2018 helping with the technology needs. In his free time he likes to read, write, and spend time with his grandchildren.
Paul and Mary were born and raised in Wisconsin and came to saving faith in Christ in their teens (Mary) and twenties (Paul). They met in a Christian Band in Watertown, WI, married, and raised four dynamic daughters (Hannah, Sarah, Leah, Rebekah). They came to Gibbsville Church in July, 2021, and love the rich heritage of faith they've experienced here. Jesus and music are the major passions for them, along with encouraging the Body of Christ in worship. They also enjoy long walks on a short beach (we're getting older), laughter, good books and pizza.
