Board of Directors
Chris Ratchman
President
I have enjoyed attending Grace Chapel since 1997. I became a member in
1998.
I enjoy hosting a weekly bible study in my home, helping out at Labor of
Love, working in the church nursery, and being secretary for the Hope
Treatment Center.
I sell real estate for a living and have 1 daughter (Rochelle) who lives in
Oshkosh.
For fun I sell real estate (I do enjoy my work), walking, biking, working in
my yard and travel.
I am honored to be on the Board!!
Mark Pribbernow
Vice President
Derek Brubaker
Secretary
Nancy Rhyner
Treasurer
We have been attending Grace for about 7 years. We attended a Methodist Church prior to Grace Chapel. For the past 15 years I have been mostly involved in Children’s ministry. The treasurer position is a new adventure for me. I do have a business degree from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and I am very organized so being treasurer is not an overwhelming stretch. The hardest part of being treasurer is the monthly reports, which take a couple of hours to complete – more if you find a mistake. (That’s when it gets tricky!) I am married to Chris and we have three daughters, Alicia; 18, Stephanie; 16, and Sarah; 11. Alicia will be attending Ripon College this fall, Stephanie is a Sophomore at Oshkosh West, and Sarah is a 6th grader at Oshkosh Christian School.
Gary Ormsbee
It is my honor and privilege to serve on the board of directors for Grace
Chapel.
I am married for 15 years to my wife, Nancy. We have shared our faith journey
together during that time , as God has brought us closer to Him and to each
other. We came to Grace about 4 years ago, and have found it to be a loving,
nurturing place to be.
I currently am employed as an Employment Specialist, assisting the homeless
population in 3 counties to get and keep jobs in the community. I have worked
in the past with people with disabilities for a number of years, and consider
my work as a large part of my personal ministry.
I had been a musician professionally for many years, and I currently enjoy my
role as co-worship leader of a music worship team that Pastor Joe and I share.
Everyone that knows me, knows that I am an avid comic book and comic art collector
and movie buff. If you need to know something about Superman or Spider-man,
I'm your man. I am of course, a Packer backer.
Jeremy Rush
Jeremy Rush moved to Oshkosh seven years ago to form a campus ministry at UW Oshkosh. The Lord expanded his vision to reach all thirteen campuses in Wisconsin, thus he began Wisconsin Christian Campus Ministries in 2004. He currently serves as the Ministry Director of WCCM, where his current project is to get the UW Madison ministry going strong. Jeremy is married to Lori, and together they have two boys: Joshua, age 3, and Jonathan, age 1. Jeremy and his family enjoy outdoor activities including gardening, landscaping, bicycling, and their weekly summer trip to Leon’s! Jeremy is proud to serve on the Grace Chapel Board, where he has been a member since April of 2008.
Joe Grier
Pastor Joe helped plant Grace Chapel in 1990. His experience in foreign missions and leadership training since 1972 along with his teaching and music skills all combine to make his ministry at Grace exciting, challenging and educational. Joe is married to Gayle and they have three children, Amie (and her husband Matt), Nathan and Ethan, and one grandson, Enzo.
