Our Leadership
The Office of Elder
Titus 1:7-9 - “For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.”
Shane Walker,
Preaching Pastor

Shane came to know Jesus Christ in a small rural church in central Iowa at the age of 5. He meet his wife Kimberly attending the University of Iowa at a Bible Church near the campus. They have four children--Hannah, Malee, James, and John Calvin.
Shane was called into vocational ministry while working in Washington, DC. He has an MDiv and ThM from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. When he's not reading or studying theology, he can be found attending his son's basketball games or riding his bike
Titus Juvinall,
Associate Pastor

God saved Titus at the age of 18 through the book of Romans, bringing him to repentance and faith in Christ. After marrying his wife, Laura, the Juvinall family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where Titus earned an MDiv from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and worked for GE Appliances. After six years in Louisville, First Baptist Church called Titus to serve as an elder in the spring of 2025.
Titus enjoys spending time with Laura and their four children, exploring, hunting, and fishing in northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula, and reading classic literature and J.R.R. Tolkien.
The Office of Deacon
1 Timothy 3:8-13 ESV - “Deacons likewise must be dignified, not double-tongued, not addicted to much wine, not greedy for dishonest gain. They must hold the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience. And let them also be tested first; then let them serve as deacons if they prove themselves blameless.”
