our people

Bill and Gloria have been serving as a pastor and wife for more than forty years.  Most of those years have found them doing what they believe God called them to do- to start and develop local churches.  They were honored to start a church in Lindon, Utah, then in Preston, Idaho and now God has led them to Garden City.  They have a passion to teach the Bible and to train believers in Jesus Christ to serve in the way God has gifted them. Their purpose is to establish a church here that impacts everyone in the Bear Lake Valley and to help many come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.  They are ready to meet you and help you in your spiritual journey and they invite you to worship with the church family on Sundays at 10:30 AM and grow spiritually through serving the Lord during the week.  They both have a solid commitment to the authority of the living Word of God and believe it has the answers for all that we face in life today!

Charlie and Michaela grew up in Oklahoma. They have both been believers from a young age. Shortly after getting married, they felt God calling Charlie to full-time bible training. They moved to LaGrange, Wyoming in 2017. Charlie attended Frontier School of the Bible while Michaela worked as a Registered Nurse. Charlie graduated in 2020 with a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Studies with a Pastoral Emphasis. During their time at FSB, they believe God was training Charlie for vocational ministry. Charlie and Michaela joined The Village Church in September 2020.
Charlie and Michaela have 3 children,
Judah (2018), Millie (2020), and Boaz (2022).
