Leadership

The Administrative Team

Ryan Weberg, Pastor

Pastor Weberg was born into a Christian family in southern Minnesota, and was saved at the age of three, when his mother presented to him John 3:16, substituting his own name for "whosoever." Though he grew up attending a Christian school, ministry was not his focus, until as a junior in high school, he tore his ACL at a soccer tournament. Sidelined from an entire season of basketball, he realized that sports had become his god. After knee surgery and several months of therapy, he went with his youth group on a mission trip to work with the Apache Indians in Fort Thomas, Arizona. It was during that week that he realized the joy of Christian ministry, and it was at the end of that week that he surrendered to a life of full-time Christian service. Since then, God has given him a desire to pastor, serving three years as a youth pastor in central PA, and four years as pastor of Valley View Bible Church.

Ryan, and his wife, Colleen, are the proud parents of five children: Kyle, Caleb, Kimberly, Caressa, and Kailey. Pastor Weberg earned his M.Div. from Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary, where he is currently enrolled in the Th.M. program.

Dan Kirby, Chairman of the Deacons

They both started attending Valley View Bible Church in 1990. Only a few short months after attending, Dan and Kim both accepted the Lord as their personal Savior during two different morning services. They both thank the Lord deeply for the ministry of their then Sunday School teacher, Karl Hellman. Dan currently serves as the Chairman of the Deacons, as well as Head Usher and part time adult Sunday School teacher. Dan and Kim have been blessed with four wonderful children; Carolyn, Jessica, Sean & Daniel.

His family and he began attending Valley View in the fall of 2010 and joined in early 2011.
