Pastoral Leadership

Pastor Rick Troyer

Pastor Rick Troyer grew up in the Lebanon/Albany area and owned and operated a water well industry business in the community for several years. He was called into pastoral ministry in 1986 and moved to Kansas to attend Hesston Mennonite College.

He began his first pastorate in 1988 at Roanoke Mennonite Church in Eureka, Illinois, where he continued to pastor for seventeen years until the summer of 2005. He then returned to the Pacific Northwest following a call to the Western Mennonite Church, where he continues to be involved in a bi-vocational role involving both the water well industry and pastoral ministry.

Rick and his wife, Joanie, have been married for 35 years. They have a son and daughter and three totally awesome grandsons living in Illinois and Arizona.
