Leadership

Frank became our lead pastor in 2023. He has served in vocational
ministry for three decades in various pastoral roles in the United States and as a
missionary pastor in the European Union.  His heart is to faithfully teach God’s word,
effectively equip others for ministry, and lead those entrusted to him to know God and
do His will.  
Frank graduated from the Calvary Chapel School of Ministry in 2000 and
earned an M.A. in Ministry and Leadership from Western Seminary in 2024.  He and his
lovely wife Suzie (who has served alongside him throughout their marriage) have been
married since 2002.

Andrew has been the assistant pastor at CCNL since 2020. His main roles in the church are overseeing the Children’s and Youth ministries, and assisting pastor Frank. He married Vivian in 2019 and currently has a growing family.
Andrew attended Calvary Chapel Bible College of Indianapolis from 2017-2019 where he earned an Associate's Degree in Biblical Studies. During Bible College, he also completed a one-year children’s ministry internship at Horizon Christian Fellowship Indianapolis and worked part-time at the church in the maintenance department.

Mandy joined the CCNL staff in November 2023 and currently serves as our office manager.  She handles the church’s bookkeeping, files all the things, makes lots of spreadsheets, and does whatever else Frank and Andrew need.
In addition to her staff responsibilities, Mandy also owns and operates a dock and boat lift business with her husband Blaine.
The couple has been married since 2000 and has two sons.
As a volunteer, Mandy serves in the CCNL nursery, is on the board of the Friends of LaGrange County Parks, and is on the Stroh Community Fund Grant Committee. She loves to be outside, either in the woods or at the lake. In her spare time, she enjoys fiber arts; knitting, weaving, and spinning.

Jason and his college sweetheart Cyndy were married in 1989.
They have three grown and married children and three grandchildren.  He and Cyndy

word and eager to grow, they found a church home at CCNL in 1999.  Since then, Jason
has served as the children’s ministry overseer, head of the security ministry, and in his
current role as an elder and board member.  Jason is a commercial airline pilot but hopes
to retire soon and give even greater attention to growing in Christ with his wife and
serving the Lord in whatever ways He leads.

they moved to Indiana from their home state of Michigan in 1993.  Soon after, Jon began

throughout the years.  Most recently, Jon was appointed as an elder and member of our
