Called into ministry as a teenager, Darrell Bucher graduated from Central Bible College (CBC), Springfield, MO in 1993 with a B.A. in Biblical Studies. Over the past 16 years Darrell has ministered to every area of the local church body including serving as Children’s Pastor, Youth Pastor, Music Pastor, and Senior Pastor. Lori Weatherly Bucher, Darrell’s wife of 16 years, who also attended CBC has worked alongside Darrell in every aspect of ministry. The Bucher's have two children, Christian, age 13, and Lilli age 10.

Both Darrell and Lori were raised in church and have a passion to share the hope that is found in Christ alone. While honoring their traditional heritage, they press forward to present the gospel to an ever-changing society. Holding fast to encountering the manifest presence of the Lord, it is their desire to bring a balance in meeting the needs of those seeking the Lord and allowing Him to move according to His plan and purpose. Their passion is to reach the lost, disciple believers into a mature relationship with Jesus and others so that the body of Christ will be healthy and ready for the Lord’s return.
