Lead Pastors

Rick & Tami Beard

Pastors Rick & Tami Beard have been in ministry for over 25 years. They started in ministry as assistant Pastor/Youth Pastors in Canadian, TX for the first couple of years. They then took a Senior Pastorate Position in Friona, TX in 1998 for seven years. From then, they felt the call of God to start a new work in Lamar, CO in 2006. God did wonderful work there and they ended up pastoring two churches while in Colorado. The Lord opened a door to pastor in the town of Holly, CO while also pastoring in Lamar, CO. They stayed committed to these two works for 10 years until they resigned from those ministries to come to Garden City, KS. They have been pastoring here since September of 2016.

Assistant Pastors/Youth Pastors

Pastors Jacob and Mariah Olinger are both Garden City natives, born and raised. Having been middle-school sweethearts, they were both married straight out of High School. A few years afterward the two moved to East Tennessee in November 2016 as God laid on them a season of change. There, in 2017 the Olinger family grew as they welcomed their daughter Ariah into the world.
Growing up together and being married for over 10 years now, they’ve become a dynamic duo in their own right.
These two find it easy to lean on each other’s strengths and help with weaknesses. Jacob is analytical by nature while Mariah focuses on the creative. They are ready to break the Word of God down in various forms for understanding as they work together to form relationships, build trust, and bring kids together for an authentic Jesus experience.
Together they’ve been through many tough times that have grown them to the people they are today.
