Because of the massive amount of "spam" this link has been cut until a

As our Senior Pastor, Doug Kaufman guides the congregation and
staff of Friedens to grow in their individual callings in Christ Jesus.
His passion for preaching is second only to authentically
celebrating the salvation of God in ever increasingly diverse ways.
Pastor Doug emulates a true passion for people and the value that
each person brings to the table of discussion. Even the layout of
his office furniture helps to remove barriers and promote a sense
of connection with those visiting. You can contact him at
extension #101 at the church or email him at the link below.




As a life-long member of Friedens Sharon makes use of her vast
amount of personal knowledge to manage the central nervous
system of the church. Before joining our staff Sharon held the
position of Administrative Assistant with a doctor's office
learning Microsoft Office applications including Word, Excel,
and Power Point. Sharon makes use of her training in
Shepherd's Staff, our computer data base and management
program, to keep all our records straight. Sharon also provides
administrative assistance to our educational and Youth ministries.
Shirley's family have been members of Friedens for generations.
Shirley comes to Friedens with a background in business
management, financial record-keeping, and personnel scheduling
and profile maintenance. Shirley makes full use of her
organizational skills to lead our education department. Shirley's
duties include teacher training; curriculum investigation,
confidential record-keeping, soliciting volunteers, staff presence
during fellowship activities for children kindergarten through
fifth-grade, and planning educational events throughout the year.
Gary has loved music all his life. He uses that passion to lead
Friedens' traditional choirs, Adult Chancel Choir, Bell Choir, and
Youth Choir, throughout the year. However, Gary has lead an
expansion of praise music to include a praise and worship group
that participates and leads our Contemporary Worship each
Sunday. Gary has extensively researched a variety of
contemporary worship music and has compiled a complete
library for an entire year at a time. Planning ahead allows God
to be praised in equal measure in a more traditional style of
worship as well as the aforementioned contemporary style.
