Elders
Kerry Wright
Kerry and Krista are both natives of NW Ohio. Shortly after being married, they moved to Louisville, Kentucky, to be a part of a church plant. They spent 14 years ministering in various ways in that church, then moved back to NW Ohio in 2019. Both Kerry and Krista work in Lima. They have 3 children. Their oldest is married and lives in Louisville, and their younger two attend Bluffton High School.
Ben Moser
Ben and Evania spent the majority of their upbringing in NW Ohio, with both graduating from Bluffton High School. As newlyweds, they served at a local church as youth leaders, leading them to pursue further education in Louisville. After graduating, they moved back to NW, Ohio, to be a part of the community they grew up near. Ben works locally in Pandora, with Evania staying at home raising their 3-year-old son while occasionally working at BVHS hospital as a nurse.
Brian McKanna
Brian and Kami grew up in Ohio but have spent much of their life outside the state. They’ve been involved in international ministry since 2009 and were part of two overseas church plants. In 2020, they moved to Columbus Grove to be near family and are now excited to see a new church established. Two of their children are college students, and one is a student at Grove.
