Sally Bias

Greetings! I am Sally Bias, the Coordinator for Smaller Groups at ZPC. I am a big believer in the transformational power of relationships especially when we allow God access to use them in many different ways.

I joined the ZPC staff in February 2003. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in telecommunications from Ball State University. My former work life included public relations, marketing, and fundraising. I feel very blessed to be drawing from my experience as well as the talents God has given me to work at ZPC.

Contact me if you would like information or have questions about small groups, one2one discipling relationships, or adult classes.

On personal note, my husband Chris and I were married in 1994. We have three spunky kids--girls, Carly and Celia, and the baby boy in our family, Carter. We enjoy traveling and spending time together as a family and with friends.

Terri Shrader

Hi there. My name is Terri Shrader and I am the Coordinator for Connection at ZPC. I joined the staff in January of 2004 after 10 years of being a "domestic engineer".

I have a real heart for helping people enjoy a sense of belonging at ZPC. We are a growing congregation, and it is so important that everyone who crosses our threshold feels encouraged in their spiritual journey, invited to participate (in ministry, small groups, discipleship, etc.), and included in vital relationships, both with God and with those who make up his church. I have the great privilege of overseeing our new member class, as well as various ministries that encourage connection and fellowship.

My husband, Chris, and I both graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. We were married in 1990 and have two terrific, very active boys, Jacob and Austin. Along with a plethora of pets, we enjoy watching our boys play sports, anything "up north" in Petoskey, Michigan and being with friends and family.

Sherry Pipkin

Luke 10: 14 "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." I'm Sherry Pipkin, the Director of the Noah's Ark Christian Child Care/Preschool. I have been with Noah's Ark since the first day the doors open on April 14, 1992; at that time I served as the Assistant Director, and taught in the three year old classroom. The past 9 years I have filled the Director's Chair. Every morning my office fills with little voices and great big smiles.

Whether it was being a mother of four, the ten years of home child care, or being in the halls of Noah's Ark, my passion and caring in life has been directed towards filling the needs of each child that God has allowed to cross my path. A child is a precious gift that God uses to teach us that no matter our age or the season of our lives, we are to all be His little children.

The staff here at Noah's Ark is blessed to care for and love these little lambs. It is our desire to show the love of Christ in all we do.

Amy Crispin

My name is Amy Crispin. I am one of the Coordinators for Children's Ministry. I will be working closely with children, parents, and volunteers in our church. I am excited about being involved with the students and teachers who participate on Sundays and on Wednesdays at TeamKid.

My husband, Matt, and I discovered ZPC about seven years ago thanks to a friend of mine with whom I attended church in Noblesville when we were children/teens. She told me about a church at the corner of Michigan and 116th Street that had a fantastic pastor. We knew this was the place for us after our first visit!

I graduated from Indiana University in 1996 with a degree in Elementary Education and taught third grade for six years in Pike township. I retired from teaching after the birth of our first child Natalie. In April 2005, Matt and I added to our happy family with the arrival of Tommy. Of all the things I've done and jobs I've had in my life, being a mom and wife are my favorites by far! When I'm not playing dolls, rolling a ball back and forth, or testing out new recipes, I enjoy sewing and any crafty project I come across.

Deb Foster

Hi, my name is Deb Foster; I am one of the Coordinators of Children's Ministry. You will see me mostly on Sunday mornings in the elementary children's worship time in a variety of costumes and having organized, chaotic fun!

Did you know that nearly half of Americans who accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior do so by the age of 13? I am here to introduce ZPC's kids to Jesus who can be their forever friend!

I earned a B.A. in Sociology from Lee University. Upon graduation, I spent ten years in social work with emotionally and physically abused adolescents. I've been around children's ministry of all ages for over 20 years in a variety of roles. I am married to my wonderful husband, and sometimes partner in chaos, Matt. We have a two beautiful children: a daughter Meredith and a son Timothy.

Annette Garriott-Parks

Hello! My name is Annette Garriott-Parks. My role at ZPC is Coordinator for Children's Ministry with a focus on Nursery and Childcare. On Sunday mornings I oversee the nursery for infants and children for each worship service. Most likely you will find me at the Nursery Welcome Desk assisting parents as they check-in their children, staffing our rooms with our trained volunteers to ensure the best care for our littlest blessings and teaching a Bible lesson for our young toddlers. We have a great time in our nursery with singing Bible songs accompanied by musical instruments played by the children, learning our Bible stories and craft activities. I find great joy in looking into the faces of the children and seeing God's love shine through.

I joined the congregation at ZPC when my oldest daughter was just a baby. At that time, it was much easier to go to the early 8am service. Surprisingly it wasn't very crowded and I was able to take her into the sanctuary (now the chapel) to hear the words of God spoken through Glenn. I distinctly remember feeling welcome and cared for. It was a great experience and continues to be a fond memory. I hope to give that gift to others as I welcome them into our nursery.

God has blessed my husband, Thomas and I with three beautifully spirited girls ranging from teenage years to elementary age. We have shared our lives together for twenty-four years, and married the last eighteen of those years. Our family spends most of our time together with homeschooling the girls and travel soccer taking up the majority of our days.

Along with my position at ZPC, I also work part-time as a Registered Dietitian through the First Steps Early Intervention Program working with children under the age of three with feeding issues. I have learned so very much working with the special needs population for the last sixteen years. I bring that compassion and understanding to our nursery at ZPC.

My spiritual walk continues through my friendships and co-workers at ZPC as well as lasting friendships I have made through the homeschool community. I belong to a small group we have nicknamed, B.I.G (Breathe In God). They are a great resource for me as we study God's word. My life purpose is to be a member of Christ's family, a model of His character, a minister of His grace, a messenger of His word and a magnifier of His glory.

Kristin Inskeep

Hi, I'm Kristin Inskeep and the newest member of the ZPC Children's Ministry team. I am the coordinator for children in Early Childhood (Sonbeams through Kindergarten). I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to work with children, parents, volunteers, and staff as we grow in our relationships with God and develop a next generation of Christ followers!

I have a BS in Elementary Education from Ball State, an MS in Effective Teaching with an emphasis in Special Education from Butler, and a PhD in Christian Communication and Leadership from Louisiana Baptist University. I have taught fifth grade, preschool, special education, homeschooled children, Sunday school, and had numerous other opportunities to be around children! I love their creativity, energy, and honesty.

I am happily married to Jimmy and have three amazing sons that keep me on my toes Connor, Carter, and Cooper. In my free time I like to read, quilt, and of course shop! My life verse is Isaiah 30:21.

Nancy Baker

As you can see my job title is Ministry Assistant. What that really means is that I serve in the church office and provide behind-the-scenes support. I was called to serve this congregation by supporting the pastors and program staff at ZPC as well as providing administrative support to the various ministries and the people who make up ZPC.

I provide direct administrative support for Glenn McDonald, senior pastor; Bob Jordan, executive pastor; the facilities team; and the celebration arts team. I also provide administrative support for the session and maintain the church's official presbytery records.

I administrate the church's database and work with the other MA's in maintaining accurate records for ministry use. Hopefully, that translates into you receiving your mailings at the correct address and getting your nametag each Sunday morning. In addition to putting together the worship bulletin each week, I also produce the worship slides for our Sunday morning worship services. Additionally, I schedule baptisms, dedications and coordinate the process of setting up a wedding at ZPC. I am privileged to provide administrative support in times of loss for funerals and memorial services at ZPC. I also provide on-site IT support and act as the liaison between the staff and our IT provider.

My husband Ron and I have two children, Josh and Becca. Our family has been a part of ZPC since 1991 and I've been a member of the staff since 1996. If I haven't yet met you, I look forward to doing so in the near future. I pray that you will be blessed by the ministries of ZPC and that you in turn would be a blessing to others.

Lisa Price

I enjoy working at ZPC as a Ministry Assistant primarily supporting Youth and Children’s ministries, coordinating weddings, and am the liaison for our amazing office volunteers. I’m the first person you see when you arrive in the church office, and will greet you with a friendly hello. I have been on staff since September 2003.

I have a BA which I received from Purdue in Interpersonal Communications with double minors in Child Development and Photography. I have grown up at ZPC so I have gotten to see the ZPC grow and change over time. Now I enjoy attending worship with my delightful husband, Shawn.

Outside of ZPC, I love to study God's word and grow through small groups, mission trips, taking walks, and spending time with Shawn and our friends. I'm in an adult small group which has turned into my extended family. I enjoy serving you and your family in the church office.  Stop by and say hello soon.

Chris Malott

Hi! I'm Chris Malott. Officially, I'm the Director of Youth Ministry. Unofficially that means that I specialize in staying abreast of the latest trends in candy eating, pillow fighting, and in-line skating tricks.

Seriously, I am passionate and committed to bringing the love of Jesus to young people in a language that they understand. Over 80% of today's Christians placed their faith in Jesus during their teenage years. I am here to introduce as many young people as possible to their Savior, Jesus Christ, and to help them through their journey in becoming His disciple.

I work closely with Scott Shelton, the Associate Pastor for Family Life Ministries and a team of adult leaders from the ZPC body in planning and organizing the youth ministry at ZPC. I have fifteen years of youth ministry experience (and still love hangin' out with teenagers!), have been married to my lovely wife and partner in ministry, Amy, since 1988, and we have a daughter, Haley, and a son, Christian.

Joy Sullivan

Hi, I'm Joy Sullivan and I have the privilege of hanging out with the middle schoolers at ZPC. I have a passion for pursuing students with the love of Christ, sharing the powerful truth of the gospel and having a great time in the journey. I also love messy games, eating pizza at midnight and being asked if I am an eighth grader - all things that only happen at youth group!

I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2006 and interned at ZPC for 2 years before coming on board permanently.  I am married to a wonderful guy named Chris, who is a wonderful support and dodgeball player! We have a puppy names Moes who is loveable, fluffy and not too bright.
