About Our Staff

We have a dedicated staff here at Grace to take care of you and your family, led by:

Keith Minier, Senior Pastor

It’s no secret that Keith Minier is driven, passionate and visionary. It’s also no secret that he loves his family, basketball and the Buckeyes. But Keith’s enthusiasm is more far-reaching than any of those things.

Keith loves Jesus. And he’s on mission to share how a personal relationship with the risen Savior can transform lives. more...

Drew Waggoner, Associate Pastor

Although he may appear quiet and unassuming to some, Drew is most definitely anything but. His heart for students and passion for Jesus are unrivaled.

Whether ministering through song or mentoring others to develop into intimate followers of Jesus, Drew and his wife, Nicole, have devoted their lives to impacting teens. more...

Erica Shelton, Children’s Director

It's not unusual to hear shouts of "Miss Erica!" from every nook and cranny at Grace Fellowship. The fact that the kids adore Erica so much is just a small testament to how generously she gives of her time and talents to God's littlest.

Clearly God put a special love for children in Erica's heart. This former preschool teacher and volunteer coordinator considers it her calling to minister to children both at home in Pickerington to as far away Central African Republic. more...

Beth Shively, Office Manager

Keeping a growing church organized and informed takes more than first-rate administrative abilities, it takes someone like Beth who honestly loves and cares about people.

From prayer requests to newsletters to phone calls to mobilizing volunteers, it’s all in a day’s work, yet Beth never loses sight of what’s most important: a personal relationship with Jesus. more...

Debi Renner, Office Administrator

Most people think she’s just a big softie. And while it’s true that Debi has a tender and loving heart, she’s also always up for a challenge.

Not only has she cooked for the masses, scrubbed the church toilets, discipled women, taught children and invested in the lives of our youth, Debi also has been a tenaciousness advocate for those who face social, economic, relational and spiritual hardships. more...
