Sharing Christ's Love with Students

I joined the staff in October of 2019. The journey to this position brought me from South Dakota, to Iowa, then to Michigan, west to Wisconsin and then back to Grand Rapids. During those years I served as a solo pastor, youth pastor, lawn care expert, landscaper, and maintenance supervisor. God has also given me a love of woodworking, camping, gardening, and hiking. I am blessed to share my life with my lovely wife, Dominique and four children: Parker, Sutton, Eli, and Lucy. Although there have been many rocky years God has always walked with me. He has now brought me to this place at this time and I am eager to see what He has in store for the Dock, myself, and everyone that is a part of this ministry.

Ruth has been married for 32 years and has two grown sons, a beautiful daughter-in-law, and two awesome grandsons. She has worked at The Dock for 4 years. Prior to that she worked in ministry with her husband, Tom, and as a high school office administrator for many years.

As the Development Director at The Dock Ministries Wayne is currently responsible for leading all fundraising activities to raise funding for organizational operations, special projects, and capital campaigns.
