After 20 years as a worship pastor in both Illinois and Texas, Kelly came on board with Cedar Springs in early 2022 bringing leadership to our worship and production ministries. He is passionate about helping to create environments where people can engage their hearts with God, and experience His transforming power in their lives. Kelly enjoys playing golf, traveling, and guitars. He is also an avid Chicago sports fan.

Samantha has been leading our children's ministry since 2020 with the help of an extraordinary volunteer team. A treasured part of her time at Cedar Springs is when she gets to witness a child start to understand the Gospel and why Jesus died on the cross for us. Samantha is married to Travis, and outside of church delights in tending to her family, homeschooling, writing, reading, baking, and crafting. Two of her favorite Bible verses are John 3:30 and Philippians 1:21.

Barb has been with Cedar Springs since it began meeting over 25 years ago. She is our Church Administrator, and for over two decades has mostly worked behind the scenes taking care of all the administrative details necessary for the church to run smoothly. In addition to being the Church Administrator, Barb is also our head Elder.

Karen is the founder of Cedar Springs Church, and also serves as one of our Elders. She is married to Pastor John.
