Wade - Lead Pastor
Lynne - Children's Coordinator
Wade and Lynne both grew up in Austin, Minn., the home of SPAM. Before God called him to be a pastor, Wade served seven years in the U.S. Marines and was a network administrator. He received training to be a pastor at the Vineyard in Champaign, Ill., and in 1999 he started pastoring at the Vineyard in Rolla, Mo. One of Wade's passions is seeing college students get excited about knowing and serving the living God. Lynne teaches special education and coaches the girls' tennis team at Holmen High School. Wade totally digs being married to Lynne for over 20 years, and they have four children, whom they love very, very much: Marcus, Cody, Courtney, and Noah.
