STAFF
Pastor
Rev. Cathy Weigand never wanted to be a pastor, so it is a surprise to everyone (including herself) that she has been in ministry for more than 25 years.
She and her husband, Rev. Mike Weigand, have raised 4 kids, two homemade and two adopted from the Philippines.
Cathy has served as a member of the Board of Ordained Ministry, she traveled with Love Prevails to General Conference in Portland, to protest the denomination’s discrimination of the LGBTQIA+ community, and works to balance the vows she has made to God in her marriage, her ordination, and at her kids’ baptisms.
Cathy has learned the importance of showing up and standing up. She is committed to this way of living her faith, even when she gets it wrong and even when her voice shakes.

Deb started as our Administrative Coordinator in November 2021. Deb has been a member of our congregation for 5 years. She retired from teaching after 30+ years with Omro Middle School.

Todd produces and distributes digital recordings of church worship services and coordinates the sound and visuals during live worship. He oversees the updating, care and maintenance of our audio/visual equipment. Todd's second hat is Directing our Chancel Choir which has been known to have a lot of fun at practice as well as providing inspiring music for worship.
Band / Worship Leader
Travis is our Band/Worship Leader for our 9:00 am worship service. He is a UW-Madison grad and a full time gigging musician around the state in a variety of bands. For Travis, music is a way to express the energy of caring for other people. On the deepest level, everyone wants to be connected and music allows you to feel that with the person next to you, even if you’ve never spoken.
