Pastor David Kappus

You might get the impression that he's friendly and likes to have fun (even in church) and you'd be right. He's also got a pretty good theological head on his shoulders so he talks a lot about love and grace and forgiveness and salvation and the One who brings it all to us...Jesus, the Son of God, as He is revealed to us in the Bible.

We should probably mention that Pastor Dave loves the Bible since it tells us what God wants us to know. And it teaches us to trust in God alone and recognize that everything we are and everything we have belongs to God and we should use it accordingly for things that would make God happy.

Pastor Dave was born in Alabama, grew up in Minnesota and has served congregations in North Dakota, Idaho, and Washington. He has what some would consider non-traditional hobbies for a pastor. He is a percussionist and has played for worship bands, Christian Youth Theater, Spokane Children’s Theater, and Lake City Playhouse. Given that, this next one may not come as a surprise. He's involved in theater and acting! He has acted with several community theater groups, and has been in a few TV commercials and movies filmed in Spokane.

He's married to Theresa and they live in Spokane Valley with one cat. Come and meet him. He'd like that!

Joel Zellmer

Joel was born in Iowa as a PK (Pastor's Kid) and his love for the Church was instilled in him at an early age. He studied piano and organ for many years but Handbells have been his adult musical passion. He and Jodi played in the Spokane community De Colores Handbell Choir for many years. In his professional career, he was computer programmer and a software technician. Here at Central, if you don't find Joel adjusting bells or setting up bell tables, you will find him doing worship planning, physical worship setup, maintaining church facilities, singing in the Chancel Choir or as sound system operator.

He and his wife, Jodi share life together with their daughter Emma.
