Leadership

My name is Ryan Scheibel and I am the senior pastor of Water Brooks Church in Meridian, Idaho. I love serving Jesus with my beautiful bride, Shawna, and our three children. My vision for the life of our family is to know Jesus and make Him known!

David Wood is one of our three worship leaders with Water Brooks church! He is married to his darling wife, Denice, whom he also leads worship with! David and Denice have been attending Water Brooks since 2021 and have been a tremendous help and blessing to the church. They have such kind hearts that want to know God and make Him known to all. Their faithful service has been such a gift! David is in charge of the Friday devotional email and has been doing that since 2023. Recently, David has been stepping into the Cares Ministry where he does hospital visits, home visits and meetups with those  

Richard Engelhardt has been with Water Brooks Church since 2022 and since his time began here, he has started his prison ministry called "STAND" where he goes into the prisons and teaches the Bible! The Lord's ministry through Richard is THRIVING! Richard also hopes to begin going to assisted living homes and bringing hope,  Joy and Jesus to everyone he meets there, too! Richard loves to play drums with David and Denice for worship! He is a prayer warrior and substitute teaches for Ryan 

Wife to Pastor Ryan, Shawna does a variety of things for the church, including, but not limited to, planning events, Women's Ministry,  Cares Ministry, managing the website, teaching in Children's Ministry and managing the Children's ministry. 

Billi handles much of the scheduling for Kids Ministry as well as purchasing curriculum, organizing supplies and a host of other Kids Ministry related things. Billi not only assists with the curriculum planning at Water Brooks Church, but she is also one of the talented event planners/coordinators we have at Water Brooks Church! We are SO BLESSED to have her!

Denice also is in charge of managing the church's books! Denice has an extensive history in financial management with a local golf course and was excited to help Water Brooks manage our books! We are so blessed to have her! Denice is married to our Associate Pastor, David Wood. David and Denice lead worship for our church 1-2 Sundays a month and have been attending Water Brooks since 2021!

Kendra is in charge of sending out the church-wide text messages and email communications for Water Brooks Church. She is also in charge of the social media accounts and uploading the sermon videos on social media. Kendra sings on the worship team with David and Denice. 

Ken and Kim Johnson have been leading worship every third Sunday with Water Brooks church since we did our summer in the park in 2022! It has been such a blessing to have them as one of our worship teams! Sometimes, we get a little treat and the rest of the family jumps in and does drums and sound! 

Chad and Krista Ormsbee lead worship in main service 1-2 times a month as well as some events! They also faithfully lead children's worship every other week and the kids love it!
