Pastor & Staff

Aaron Klein

Senior Pastor

As our senior pastor, Aaron equips and collaborates with an amazing church staff, oversees together with our ruling elders to discern the Lord’s direction for our church, and brings us weekly instruction from God’s Word. Aaron graduated from Trinity Christian College and earned his MDiv at Western Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Nicole, are the proud parents of one daughter and three sons. Aaron arrived at WEPC in August 2020, and is grateful to serve alongside a congregation that is passionate about loving Jesus, loving one another, and loving our community.

In his spare time, you might find him imagining he can fly as he dabbles in RC aviation, fishing, or running. If the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach, just about any Chicago style pizza (deep dish or thin crust) or good Mexican food will do.

Angela Ayers

Presby Preschool director

As Presby Preschool director, Angela oversees the preschool and guides staff in following the mission and vision to facilitate the growth and development of children in a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment. She joyfully welcomes families to discover our school's play-based curriculum, which allows children ages 3-5 to explore, be curious, and choose the activity that suits their personal learning style. Angela comes from a background in public school administration, so she is familiar with kindergarten standards and how to best set students up for success as they begin their K-12 experience.

Angela enjoys relaxing at home with her husband and two dogs in her spare time and enjoys every moment she can with her adult children. She is a lover of learning and information and hopes to perfect her skills in cornhole and pickleball.  

Dan Ayers

Student Ministries Director

As youth director, Dan oversees the junior and senior high youth ministry. Through weekly Wednesday night meetings and other activities, our youth ministry seeks to lead young people to faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, to help them grow as disciples, and to build a community of love, support, and encouragement. Dan is also a high school math teacher at Warsaw Community High School.

He enjoys doing things with Angela, his wife, and best friend since 1993, such as watching movies and sports (cheering for the Cubs, Bears, Bulls, and Purdue), eating good food, visiting their adult children and grandson, and all of their extended family, and reading the Bible and praying together. He also enjoys walking with his dogs almost every day.

Heather Faust

Children's Ministry Director

As our Kids Ministry Director, Heather leads talented volunteers, teaches kids, plans events, and supports parents as they disciple their kids. She graduated from Grace College in December 2010 with a Counseling major and a Youth Ministry minor. Heather has been involved in kids ministry volunteering and leadership for the past 17 years and sees working with kids as more of a joyful hobby than a job. She also loves connecting with families in her home and helping the church feel like a safe place for anyone new to our church family or to faith in general.

Heather and her hubby, Brian, have been married for 12 years and have three crazy, wonderful girls. She enjoys nature foraging, board games, ethnic food, and deep conversation.

A fun fact to know about Krista is that her baptism, confirmation, parents’ memorial service, wedding, baptism of her two sons, older son’s wedding, and her husband's memorial service all took place at WEPC. Needless to say, this is her church home.

They have 3 grown sons, a daughter-in-law, and a grandson.
