My family has called College Heights home for over twenty years. I have been married to my wife, Denise, since 1996 and have four children: Rylee, Carson, Dylann, and Hagen. We formerly served as Global Outreach partners in Africa for over 5 years. Before serving overseas, I was a firefighter for the Joplin Fire Department for nine years.

I love working with senior adults and seeing what God is doing in their lives! I have been married for over 30 years to my wife Sheryl and we have four sons and many grandchildren. In my spare time I enjoy playing golf.

Logan Greer

Youth Minister

lgreer@chjoplin.org

I do husbanding, fathering, and ministry imperfectly. Jesus is my only hope. Kids are totally awesome. I love seeing God work in and through them! I love my wife, Aanna, and daughters—Valentine and Llewelyn. I once met Weird Al Yankovic and asked for his shoes. He declined.

Josh Huckabay

Creative Arts Minister

Josh has been leading worship for 18 years. He is a graduate of Ozark Christian College and has a Master of Arts degree in Spiritual Formation and Discipleship from Portland Seminary. His motivation for ministry is to see people become like the God they worship. Married for 13 years to his wife, Andrea, God has richly blessed them with four children, Madison, Micah, Isaiah, and Eden.

Sy Huffer

Lead Minister

My wife are complete opposites, yet we both love Jesus, his church, and his mission of making disciples who change the world. I am an avid Dallas Cowboys fan, love food in all its shapes and sizes, and I wish I lived in the story of the Lord of the Rings.

Titus Neuenschwander

Family Minister

x180 titus@chjoplin.org

I believe parents are the primary disciple-makers of their children. I have an 18 year history in youth ministry and love youth and their parents, too. Lesli and I are the proud parents of Evan, Cheyenne, Drake, Alex, Brett, and Emma. I enjoy family life, the outdoors, mowing the yard, finishing home improvement projects, sharing a cup of coffee, and think March Madness is one of the best times of the year.

Josh Quade

College Age & Young Adult Minister

x170 jquade@chjoplin.org

I am a man who stands on the shoulders of godly people who loved Jesus and taught me and others to do the same. I want to be like that. I am the College Age/Young Adult Minister and love empowering the church to move the kingdom forward out of their God-given passions and giftedness. I married Somer in 2000 and we have four great kids: Caleb, Ella, Jenna, and Lyla. We even tried to get a puppy once, but that didn't work out.

Ann Wolfe

Children's Minister

x130 awolfe@chjoplin.org

There's nothing sweeter than seeing a child learn that God's Word is something to love and cherish. I also enjoy working with volunteers, who bring truth and the love of Jesus to these kids. My whole family—my husband, Jeremey, and our three children (Lydia, Elijah and Jude) enjoys being part of children's ministry in one form or another. When I'm not in the world of children's ministry, I just might be on stage at a local community theater, paddling down a river in a canoe, or crying at season finales of the Great British Baking Show.

Aaron Wheeler

Small Groups Minister

x181 awheeler@chjoplin.org

I am passionate about seeing disciple-making communities unleashed for Kingdom work. I originally hail from the Detroit area. I met my wife, Danielle, when we were students at Ozark Christian College, and after finishing there we served 12 years in a campus-based ministry with a focus on East Asia. Together we have four children.

Jeff White

Operations and Care Minister

x110 jwhite@chjoplin.org

We want to be a church that walks alongside individuals and families that find themselves in a difficult season of life. God will never waste your suffering; it ultimately gives you a better understanding of your Creator. It is a blessing to call Lisa my wife since 1986. We have two daughters Annie and Katie. I enjoy wide-open spaces, calluses, and a South Dakota sunrise.
