In addition to his preaching duties, Jeff enjoys singing and dressing up as the Bible characters whose stories he’s telling.  He enjoys reading mystery and war novels while browsing trivia for useful tidbits in his sermons.  Jeff’s favorite movie is the Avengers and he enjoys a broad variety of music from bluegrass to classical.  Hearing his mother read Bible stories then live them out in her own life was an early influence in his Christian walk, while being captivated by his home church preacher brought about a craving to preach himself.  Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared for us in advance,” is a motivational verse for Jeff.  One of Jeff’s favorite memories of serving at the Church of Christ at Logansport stems from thieves getting caught after breaking into the church.  He and the youth minister resolved to pray for the young men, seeking an opportunity to witness to them.  The thieves called from jail to apologize and seek forgiveness the very next day.  This led to Bible studies and one of them receiving Christ in baptism.

Following the New Testament example of elders overseeing Christ-led congregations, the Church of Christ at Logansport has a group of elders who have demonstrated lives that meet the qualifications given in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9.  These elders are charged with the oversight of the spiritual health and direction of the church.

Don enjoys reading his Bible and playing computer chess.  His favorite movie is Dudley Do Right and he likes to listen to gospel music.  It was his parents who influenced him to follow Christ.  Don’s favorite verse from the Bible is Psalm 51:10- Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.  It has been his pleasure to be with the church from its beginning and watch the Lord grow the congregation from the minister and three families to what it has become today.

Dave has been a photography enthusiast since childhood.  He also dabbles in collecting coins, stamps, and marbles.  He likes spending time outdoors hunting, fishing, boating, and camping while maintaining the equipment needed for those activities.  Dave regularly has woodworking projects he’s completing at home.  When it comes to reading, he typically is simultaneously reading multiple books, usually related to counseling or Bible study mixing in historical non-fiction.  Some of Dave’s favorite music includes southern gospel, praise and worship as well as classical, jazz, and blues, as long as the lyrics are understandable and edifying.  His parents and grandparents, along with camp mentors like Dave McSpadden and Ken Idleman, influenced him as he began to follow Christ.  Ephesians 2:10-18 is a passage that has always intrigued Dave, beginning with the idea that “We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”  Dave’s favorite memory of the Church of Christ at Logansport is the open, non-judgmental initial greeting given him by Bill Risen, “My name’s Bill- I guess you know yours- we are happy to see you today.”  It’s Dave’s goal to ensure you receive the same type of welcome for years to come.

Maximo's bio will be updated soon.
