Jerry's desire is that ZPC will continually grow in its understanding of how we (as individuals and as a community) fit into the greater story of God in in this world. It is a story of God’s love for humanity and God’s desire for us to share his love, grace, and peace with those in our neighborhoods (wherever we work, live, or play), our country, and our world. Jerry hopes we can do this through speaking the hope of the gospel in dark situations, by feeding the hungry, by worshipping in truth and grace, by sacrificing our lives for others, and by loving our neighbors and our enemies. Jerry is married to Megan and they have 4 daughters: Shaughnessy, Adelie, Bromwyn, and Liesel. Jerry has served at ZPC since January 2014.

Jerry's Hidden Talent: "I can say the Alphabet backwards."

Through his ministry, Scott wants people of all ages to receive the grace of Jesus and to share it with others. This means learning about Jesus in community and then living out what we are learning. He works with our children’s and student ministries and also adult leaders to help all of us creatively live out loving God with all that we are and loving our neighbors as we love ourselves. Scott has served at ZPC since 1994. Scott is married to Claire and they have 4 kids: Jacob, Lexia, Luke, and Graham.

Scott’s Hidden Talent:  memorizing sports stats

Shannon and her husband, James, have been part of ZPC since 2023. She began serving as Mission Coordinator in 2025. Her heart for ministry is to help others discover and live out the mission God has created them for.

In her spare time, Shannon loves being with her grand babies, traveling with James, and exploring historical places. She also enjoys thrifting and staying busy on their "hoodstead," which is home to about 45 animals.

A meaningful scripture for Shannon is Leviticus 19:18.

Traci began serving as Crooked Creek Coordinator in the fall of 2025. Her vision for this ministry is to build meaningful relationships both within ZPC and with those in the Crooked Creek community. While there are many opportunities to serve, she also hopes the ZPC family will be enriched by the wisdom and experiences of the Crooked Creek community.

Traci and her husband, Tony, met at DePauw University in a badminton and racquetball class, where their competitive spirits—and playful trash talk—sparked a connection. They married in 2006 and are now the proud parents of four boys: Barrett, Avery, Tucker, and Wells. In January 2025, they added two kittens, Midnight and Cheezit, to their busy, lively home.

Life in their house is full of laughter (and sometimes a little yelling!). In their spare time, Traci and Tony enjoy being with family and friends, traveling, and discovering new restaurants.

Two poems especially meaningful to Traci are Footprints in the Sand (Anonymous) and The Train (Richard G. Moriarty), which remind her of God’s presence and the importance of cherishing life’s journey.

Jason joined the ZPC staff in 2020 and desires to draw people closer to God through both music and relationships. He especially enjoys noticing the ordinary ways God’s Kingdom shows up in everyday life—whether in the jealousy of a child that mirrors God’s jealousy for his people, the trials and triumphs of a spontaneous family outing, or even the care that goes into making a great cup of coffee.

A meaningful scripture passage for Jason is Isaiah 55.

He joined the ZPC staff in 2023 and especially enjoys using technology to help create spaces where people can connect with Christ.

Above all, she loves Jesus deeply and desires to help others encounter him in authentic and life-changing ways through worship and relationship.

He taught it to each of us kids and placed a dot of blue paint on our watch so that we would see it and remember this verse."

Sally loves working with both staff and ZPCers to creatively communicate what’s happening at ZPC. Whether it’s an event, a class, a mission trip, or a ministry opportunity, her goal is always to provide meaningful ways for people to connect with God.

You’ll see her work most visibly through the ZPC website, videos, the Sunday morning bulletin, and other print and digital materials. Sally has been part of ZPC since 1997 and joined the staff in 2003. She first served by helping administer Home Groups and now leads as Communications Director.

Lisa’s friendly face is the first you see when you come into the ZPC office—usually with chai tea in hand and probably a story to share. Her hope is for you to feel welcome and at home the moment you walk through the doors. She has served at ZPC since 2004, which means she’s been around long enough to know where most things are (but don’t quiz her on the storage closets).

Lisa is married to Shawn (since 2004), and together they’re raising two wonderful kids: Evey (born in 2010), who loves musical theater and can break into song at any moment, and Grayson (born in 2012), who plays baseball and trumpet—though thankfully not at the same time. Their household is rounded out by two labradoodles, Maizy and Emmy, who think they own the place (and honestly, they’re not wrong).

Lisa enjoys family time, walking her dogs, attending Christian conferences, cheering at ball games, applauding at theater performances, and relaxing with a good memoir.

A meaningful scripture passage for Lisa is Ephesians 2:8–9.

A longtime Indiana resident, she has two adult sons and a daughter-in-law who keep her laughing and remind her not to take life too seriously. In her free time, she enjoys board games, cooking, traveling to find hidden local gems, nature photography, and other creative pursuits. Happiness for her looks like a cozy local restaurant, a challenging puzzle, an intricate recipe, the Heartland Film Festival, or a peaceful place in nature shared with family and friends.

A meaningful verse for Anne is 1 Peter 4:10.
Anne states, "I find great joy in discovering and using the gifts God has given—to serve others and glorify him.
