Pastor John & Debbie Baumert

Pastor John and his wife, Debbie, have been joyfully married for 39 years, walking together in faith and service to the Lord. Pastor John accepted God's call to ministry 27 years ago and continues to serve faithfully as a bivocational pastor, while also working as Systems Operations Manager at KAMO Power. He also serves as the Chaplain for the Pryor Fire Department.

Debbie, now retired from NTC as Financial Aid Coordinator, has supported her husbands ministry every step of the way with grace and devotion. She actively serves the church in several vital roles. She is the Nursery Director, children's Sunday School teacher, and the Church Hostess Director, offering her time and heart to minister to members of the congregation. For five years Debbie has been delivering care packs to patients at cancer treatment centers with "Tenaciously Teal", a nonprofit organization. Her dedication to nurturing others reflects the love of Christ in all she does.

Together, Pastor John and Debbie enjoy God’s creation through fishing, hunting, hiking, and camping. Above all, they treasure the time they spend with their family and grandchildren and the joy they bring.
