Meet Pastor Rick

This is where you'll get the chance to get to know Pastor Rick Gering a little better.  Over time you'll be able to see pictures of Rick and his wonderful family,  find out about what he's currently reading, and listen to some of his latest messages.

Rick has a powerful testimony of how God has worked in and through his life to bring glory to Himself.  As a result of Rick's bout with and victory over cancer and the many ministry struggles that have come his way, he understands many of the challenges and heartbreaks that people face every day.  Through his experiences, Rick brings a fresh approach to ministry and to the responsibilities God has given him.  Rick's desire is to passionately preach the Word of God and to help people deepen their relationship with Christ.  Pastor Rick has a vision for how Sugar Grove will impact our community, Elkhart County, and the world with the Good News, and is taking SGC down the path that God has prepared for us.  This is truly an exciting time at Sugar Grove!

Everyone who knows Rick can tell you that he is a wildly avid Wichita State Shockers fan.   Of course most people around here don't know what a "Shocker" is, but all you need to do is ask Rick when you see him and he'll tell you everything you need to know (and more!)  Rick enjoys all competitive sports but in particular loves basketball.  He has a vision for Sugar Grove to have an active sports ministry; using our facilities and property for community athletic ministry.
