Eric began serving as an elder in 2021. His prayer is that through devotion to Biblical teaching and fellowship, GBF would be a church of increasingly Christ-like followers who lovingly speak the good news of Jesus so that others might also come to treasure and follow Him themselves (Ephesians 4:11-16, Matthew 19:21).

Eric has taught at La Salle-Peru High School since 2007. He and his wife, Andi, have four children. 

Jeff Schenck began his role as Deacon here at Grace in February of 2023. He loves Christ more than anything else. He considers it a privilege to serve Christ and His body in any capacity He would have him to, and will do so for the joy of the sheep of His flock here at Grace, and ultimately for His glory, as he is His and he is theirs.

He also considers himself to be the most blessed man on earth for he has been given, by God, the most incredible and beautiful wife that loves the Lord along with four children to raise up.

Dan was called to serve as a Deacon here at Grace in 2026. Dan considers it a great honor to be able to serve Christ's body and the Lord as a Deacon. He prays that believers will be encouraged in their faith and challenged to use their gifts for God's glory as they attend Grace.

Dan enjoys spending time with his wife, Christine. He is grateful for the relationship that God allows them to share. They have a lot of fun running around with their energetic grandchildren. Dan also enjoys working as a teacher's aide at JFK Elementary School. He thanks the Lord for his kindness and goodness to Christine and himself over many years.
