Our Pastors
Senior Pastor - Rev. Ellen H. G. Culpepper Pastor - Dr. Joseph A. Culpepper Pastors Joe and Ellen Culpepper both grew up in Macon, GA but met when they were in college at the University of GA in Athens. They have been married 36 years and have two children and five grandchildren. Their daughter is a ceramic artist in St. Louis, and their son is a cook in Dodge City, Kansas. He and his wife are deaf, so Ellen and Joe also communicate in sign language. Ellen and Joe graduated from Christian Theological Seminary in Indianapolis and served churches in Indy, Kansas Cities, KS and MO, and most recently in Lincoln, NE. Ellen loves to read, especially books on theology and spirituality. Joe loves bicycling (including a week long tour each summer) and singing both choral and solos. They also enjoy their two lab/shepherd mix dogs and cat. Ellen and Joe are excited to be here in their third year as our pastors and look forward to a long and happy ministry for Jesus Christ together with us.
