Travis Berry
SRYG Director
Hi, I'm Travis Berry. I am the Director of SRYG.
I love spending time with my family, friends and church family. I enjoy playing golf, coaching baseball, and playing fantasy baseball (NERD ALERT).
I am a fan of the Twins, Wild, and the Vikings.
I got married to my wife, Becky, in 2012 and we have two children: Clayton and Lydia. They join us during Open Rock and they love hanging out with the youth group kids!
I love youth ministry because I know that God can use anyone, no matter how young, for his glory.

Jill Blom
Sr. High Small Group Leader
Hi, I'm Jill. I have been married to Steve for 30 years. We have two grown daughters. Brittany who lives in Sioux Falls, SD and Kari who lives in St Louis Park with her husband Sam.
We enjoy spending time at our cabin in northern MN. We love to hike, fish, and relax in the summer. Ice fish and cross country ski in the winter.
I work as a dental assistant at Kandi Dental Center in Willmar. I've been there for 17 years.
I also still like to be involved with volleyball so I have some fun officiating high school volleyball in the fall.
I am enjoying being a mentor to the teenagers of our church. They are super kids and it’s a blessing to see them grow in their relationships with God and each other. It’s important for our kids to have adult role models and I’m glad I can be there whenever they need me!

Hi! I'm Kris TeBrake. I am married to Jay and I am Mom to 5 kids

I have been a youth group leader for YEARS because I love teenagers and JESUS! I also have a lot of life experiences that have made me who I am - good and bad - and I want to share those whenever I can! I love ice cream, junk and thrift shopping, decorating, baking and gardening. The country of Haiti also has a special place in my heart.
I am blessed!

Stephanie Zeatlow
Jr. High Small Group Leader
Hello,
My name is Stephanie, I recently graduated from Central Minnesota
Christian School. Though I am young, I have had many good and bad
experiences in life. I hope to use these experiences to help students
and myself grow in faith. This is my first year as a youth leader, I
hope to have many more! :)
I am the middle child in a family of 5. I enjoy reading, writing,
creating art and spending too much money when I go thrifting.
I don't have a favorite food, though I do eat subway more than I should.
