Senior Pastor: Jeff Walchshauser

I came know to Christ at a young age and have spent a lifetime growing in my personal relationship with Him. As I look back on my life it is fun to see the never-ending, limitless grace of God in response to my frail, sinful humanness. God has blessed me with a wonderful bride, Anjanette, and we have been enjoying each other as husband and wife since 1997. God has also blessed us with three incredible, fun kids: Beth, Anika and Joseph.

After graduating from the Ohio State University in 1995 I enjoyed the privilege of serving as an active-duty Army Officer and time as a civil engineer. God called me to serve Him full-time in 2003 when Anjanette and I began serving at FamilyLife (a family ministry of CRU) headquartered in Little Rock, AR. After our time at FamilyLife, I got to serve as Family Pastor and Campus Pastor at Christ Chapel Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX. Along the way I earned my Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary before God called me here to serve as the Senior Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church beginning in the summer of 2014.

As I serve Christ as a pastor, I am so thankful for the many things God brings into my life that I get to enjoy. I like to mountain bike, kayak, hike or do most anything outside. It is fun to settle down with a good book (love books by Randy Alcorn!); eat junk food like nachos, popcorn or cheesecake; or just take in a fun movie like anything in the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings or Hobbit series. But, all of these things are the most fun when I get to do them with my wife and kids!

One of my driving passions in life is helping people grow in their personal relationship with God. Nothing gets me more excited than helping people to interact with and understand the Bible so that it helps them to grow in their walk with God and relationships with each other.

I am excited God brought me to Fellowship Bible Church because I love being part of this church family who extends so much love, grace and forgiveness to each other. It is so fun being a part of a church family who embraces God’s grace while still treasuring God’s Word. This is a church that finds a great balance of grace, holiness and joy as we follow Christ together. I am excited to be a part of Fellowship Bible Church because I get to live out the mission I so strongly believe in with people I so dearly love: Love God, Love People, Make Disciples.
