Mary was raised in a Christian home in southern Ohio, graduated from Miami University, and married her husband, Dave in 1980. Mary & Dave have 3 grown children, Leah, Kyle, and Evan and have been blessed to serve the Lord in churches and communities in Idaho, Montana, and Colorado before moving to Gladstone in 2005. They have been a part of the Lord’s work through Sunday morning worship, fellowship in Life Groups and Bible studies, and serving alongside a wonderful family of believers here at Grace.
Along with loving being a wife and mom, Mary loves to be outside gardening, biking, camping, kayaking, and cross-country skiing (all with Dave!), and feels blessed to have lived in so many beautiful places.

Originally from Holland, Michigan, Cathie and her husband, Ryan, moved to the Rapid River area in December 1995. They began attending Grace Church shortly after, where they were Baptized together in 1997. Cathie's administrative ministry in the church office began in 1998. Their son, Nickolas, was born in 2003 and is such a joy and blessing in their lives.
Cathie's favorite things to do are spending time with her family, camping (in a fully-loaded camper, of course) cross-country skiing, kayaking, spending long summer days at the beach, sunrises, sunsets, and landscaping/gardening.
Cathie counts it a huge blessing to be a part of the family at Grace Church and has enjoyed seeing God's power at work here over the years!
