OUR LEADERSHIP
ANDY RIEMERSMA
Lead Pastor
Andy was born and raised in Westfield, IN. He went to Westfield schools k-12 and played varsity basketball. After surrendering a dream to play college basketball, he was called to full time ministry in the summer of 2015. God gave him a new dream: to see millions of people come to know Christ. Coming full circle moving back to his hometown in Westfield, he is leaning into the combination of his passion for sports, hip-hop/spoken word and ministry. His zeal for the Lord and his genuine love for people drive his leadership every day.
