Meet Our Staff

Jay Cavaiani ~ Lead Pastor
I am so thankful you are checking out our website. I hope to meet you. My wife Kelly and I have been married for 28 years. Praise the Lord! We have three adult children who are now out of the home. Our youngest is finishing up his Bible degree at Lancaster Bible College. We love to hike, golf, and do most things outdoors for fun.
I have been in full-time ministry since 2004. We were able to purchase and remodel our current church home in Genesee Depot in 2017. I desire to provide rich, in-depth teaching focused on God's Word, where people learn something of substance that helps them believe, mature, and bear fruit for God. I so much believe in teaching the Word that I do it daily through a podcast called "Revering the Word," where I will teach every chapter of the Bible for the next three years. You can listen on most podcast platforms or learn more at www.reveringtheword.com. This effort began on October 1st, 2023.
I would also like to share some information on my career and education. After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in 1993 from the University of Whitewater as an unbeliever, I entered a real estate sales and land development career, which lasted eleven successful years. In 1996, I became a believer in Jesus Christ, and in 2003, God called me into full-time ministry. After several years in full-time youth ministry and raising three young children, I began taking classes (2007) at Trinity Divinity (Deerfield, IL). I completed a Certificate of Christian Studies in 2014 from Trinity, and in the Fall semester of 2024, I will complete my Master's of Theology from Trinity.
I hope to meet you when you visit. Please let me know if you'd like to meet for a coffee after your visit.
