Pastor: Ryan Poelman

I was born and raised in a wonderful family in Southern Alberta, Canada, where I grew up working on our family’s honey bee farm. After several years in that work, the Lord called me to pursue pastoral ministry. In response to that call, I attended Calvin Theological Seminary, from which I graduated in December of 2023.

I’m married to my amazing wife, and together we’ve been blessed with five beautiful covenant children. By God’s grace, He brought our family to Zillah in the fall of 2023. It has been a joy to serve—and to be served by—the body of Christ here at Faith Community Church.  In my free time, I enjoy reading and hiking, especially when it includes time with my family or a good book on theology.

I would love to meet you, so feel free to reach out or come join us on a Sunday morning. It would be a joy to get to know you and walk together in the grace of Christ.

 






Secretary/Bookkeeper: Cheryl Friend

 I began working as secretary/bookkeeper for Faith Community in July of 2006. My job is very rewarding as I get to see God working in so many exciting ways at Faith Community Church!  I love all the ministries/activities at Faith Community, but I am especially thankful that I can be invovled with the Coffee Break ministry, Kids Hope USA and Awana.  

I am very blessed to be married to my wonderful husband Duane for over 40 years and we our blessed with 3 children, 2 daughter-in-laws and 2 grandchildren. Some of my favorite things to do are reading books, taking walks, watching sports and visiting family in Iowa and Michigan.
