REV. BECKY SECHRIST, PASTOR: "I help coordinate and direct all the great things people do at Minnehaha United Methodist Church. Plus, I get to teach confirmation, lead adult studies, preach, and visit folks who can't make it to church anymore. I also play clarinet in the Seward Concert Band, and I'm training my dog, Raz, to play Agility. Martha and I like to camp, hike, bike, canoe, and generally spend as much time outside as possible."

REV. JEAN ELLIOTT, DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN, YOUTH & THEIR FAMILIES: Jean is an ordained deacon in the United Methodist Church. She has a passion for helping children and youth develop a robust faith life that is lived out in their entire lives. Jean loves the outdoors, spending time in her kayak, attending live music concerts, and traveling.

HEATHER KLEIN, CHURCH SECRETARY: "I handle all office communications, publications and scheduling for the church, including newsletters, e-news, bulletins and more! On my own time, I'm busy with child care. Plus I'm a professional actor, dancer and singer. And I'm also involved with dog rescue and an avid reader."

ANDERS NELSON, ORGANIST: "I prepare and perform music for the first worship service at Minnehaha. I accompany the choir and select preludes, offertories, and postludes. Outside of church, I'm a full-time student studying software engineering. I live in Roseville with my girlfriend, plus our cats Tuna and Oscar. I enjoy creating and listening to music, cooking, and spending time outdoors. And I play guitar in a band and run a home recording studio with a couple friends."

STEVE MEIER, CUSTODIAN: "At Minnehaha, I try to have the building clean and ready to go for worship and church business, and also for all the committees and neighborhood groups and schools that use the building. When I'm not at church I like trips to the cabin up north and I play a lot of disc golf."

TIM SIEFKES, CONTEMPORARY BAND LEADER: "I seek out, arrange, teach and play music selections for the second worship service at Minnehaha. I try to find a wide variety of interesting music to play that is inspiring and fun to hear (I hope), and that might give us something to think about as well. The band is a dedicated and enthusiastic group of singers and players, and it's very rewarding to hear it all come together. When I'm not playing music I enjoy traveling with my wife, and motorcycling, boating and camping."

CINDY BERGSTROM, CHOIR DIRECTOR: "I am the choir director at Minnehaha United Methodist Church. I believe music in the church is a ministry, both for the musicians as worship leaders and the congregation being drawn into the presence of God. I enjoy collaborating as part of a creative team, as well as engaging independently, to help the musicians find a love of music making and deepened love of God through it."

ANNETTE SANDAGER, TREASURER: "As Treasurer, I pay bills, process payroll and do monthly financial reports. The church has a lot going on with its finances, and I make sure it's tracked and monitored accurately. What I love best about Minnehaha is the people. So many individuals work together and volunteer lots of time to make things run smoothly. Outside of work I spend most of my days with my husband and two kids. (Outside, if the weather allows.) I'm also involved in the Minnehaha Playgroup."
