Senior Pastor : Rev. Rusty Savage

Pastor Rusty began serving as our Senior Pastor in July 2008, following 16 years of pastoral ministry at Winona Friends Church by his father. Rusty grew up at WFC and has previously served here as both Youth Pastor and Associate Pastor. He also formerly served as Senior Pastor at West Park Friends Church in Cleveland, Ohio. 

Pastor Rusty graduated from Malone University and Ashland Theological Seminary. He loves to teach the Scriptures and has a passion to see people take hold of the abundant life offered in Jesus Christ. He works beside the members of WFC to develop their own gifts for ministry and service. His vision for our church is that we might be a missional community of men and women who have been transformed by the life of Jesus.     

If you have any questions about our church or about your own spiritual journey, Pastor Rusty would love to hear from you. Please feel free to e-mail him.
