Patrick Edwards (Ph.D., Systematic Theology) came to FBC Warrensburg in October 2017. Previously he led churches as senior pastor in North Carolina. He is married to Teresa and, together, they have two rambunctious kids, Aiden and Charlotte. Most significantly they are proud parents of a Golden Retriever, Sawyer. Having done undergraduate work at the University of Virginia and graduate and post-graduate work at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Patrick is passionate about seeing the church mobilized to follow God in His mission in the building of His Kingdom! Otherwise, he’s a pretty boring guy who you’ll likely find, when not playing with his kids, sitting on a park bench starring out into who knows what.

Jasen and his family came to FBC in 2012, and he’s been serving as a member of the worship team; Jasen joined the staff as Worship Director in January of this year. He completed his undergraduate degree at the U.S. Air Force Academy and he’s currently an active duty USAF pilot. Jasen and his wife, Angela, have two beautiful daughters, Savannah and Charlotte. Being involved in music influenced his life at an early age and he has used that passion for music to draw nearer to Jesus in his own life. He loves listening to others worship, no matter their age and he’s passionate about worship at FBC being Christ centered and not about performance. Jasen spends his free time hanging out with his family and his two Corgi dogs.

Chad and his family have been attending FBC since 2013, and he’s been serving as a member of the worship team; Chad joined the staff as a Worship Director in January of this year. In addition to leading worship, Chad is a full-time music teacher in the Warrensburg School District. He and his wife, Sarah, have two wild and crazy boys, Kaiden and Owen, with their newest “Ray” of sunshine, Ian, born in July. Chad spends most of his free time just being a dad (a.k.a. – living jungle gym), enjoying time with his wife and listening to any and all types of music. He’s been told that he likes to talk and he doesn’t seem to meet a stranger.

Harold has been on staff for ten years at FBC Warrensburg. The first nine years he served as the Facility Manager and he serves now as our Church Administrator. He has a BA in IA&T from UCM. Originally Harold is from Georgia but has lived most of his life in Warrensburg.  He and his wife, Linda, have four children and eleven grandchildren.

Julie joined the FBC Warrensburg staff in 2012. Born and raised here in Warrensburg, FBC has always been her church home. She is married to Walter, a USAF transplant, with whom she’s commenced the season of parenting their three adult children, Zach, Riley (and his wife Jordyn), and Brooke. Believing there’s more than fortuity to her work at FBC, Julie is eager to present effective communication to support the church body in connectedness, and ultimately growing His kingdom. In her leisure time she enjoys traveling, camping in their travel trailer, going to a dirt track race, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee.

Sonya has been the director of KidSteps Preschool since it began in 2013. She enjoys planning ways to help young children learn by engaging their spirit of fun and adventure. Sonya has taught preschool, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, served as director of Weekday Early Education programs, and coordinated the Warrensburg R-VI Before and After School program for many years. In addition to her work, she enjoys cooking, sewing, gardening, travel, and volunteering in her church and community.

Chassidi Frederickson, her husband, Dallin, and their family have been a part of FBC since the summer of 2017. God called their family here through the military. After 13 years of multiple moves, they have been blessed with the opportunity to make Warrensburg home for the foreseeable future. The Fredericksons have four children: Madallin, Zoey, Gunner, and Wyatt; to keep up the liveliness of their home, they have added a beagle/basset, Elliott, and just recently a jack russel, Hank. The home has a calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere for sure. Before joining the KidsZone staff, Chassidi has been a stay-at-home mom for 11 years. Although home, she has kept busy! Chassidi is confident that years of ministry experience and schooling in business management will be effective tools for her as she charges forward in this new season of life, working as the KidsZone Administrator. When she is not made busy with her first calling of wife and mom, she can probably be found holding someone else’s baby or finding excuses to spend time with her friends.
