Our Pastoral Team
Senior Pastor - Bill and Sue Knepper
After serving in the U.S. Navy as an engineer, Bill and his wife, Sue, were called to serve Jesus Christ in pastoral ministry. They started at a new church, in Inkom, Idaho, and then in Sandpoint, Idaho. In 2003, Bill and Sue moved to Centralia where they currently serve at Mountain View. Pastor Bill graduated with his M.Div. from Dallas Seminary and a Doctorate of Ministry from Northwest Graduate School. Bill and Sue have three sons, three daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren.
Pastor to Seniors - Doyle & Fern Pickens
Pastor Doyle and his wife, Fern, retired from ministry a few years ago, but have not stopped working for Jesus. Doyle has served in Churches in Wyoming, Montana and Washington, where they served most recently at Grace Baptist, in Rochester. Pastor Doyle is a graduate of Multnomah School of the Bible. Pastor Doyle and Fern currently minister to Seniors at Mountain View, which involves visitation, prayer, overseeing Heritage Club, and filling the pulpit at Mountain View and other area churches.
